Panvalet

Computer Associates Panvalet® (also known as CA-Panvalet) is a revision control and source code management system for mainframe computers such as the IBM System z and IBM System/370 running the z/OS and z/VSE operating systems. Unlike open-source solutions such as CVS, SVN or Mercurial, Panvalet is a closed source, proprietary system for versioning and control of source code such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe on personal computers.

CA-PAN/LCM is a similar product for PCs.[1][2]

Overview

Panvalet uses a client-server model where users check-out files to change and check them back into the repository when finished.[3] It can be used to manage program source code, JCL, Macros/commands for utilities such as Easytrieve[4] and object module files.

It supports granular access controls including check-in and check-out by specific mainframe user IDs.[5]

History

In 1978, it was reported that Panvalet, at the time a product of Pansophic Systems, Inc,[6] was in use at over 3,000 sites.[7][8]

Earnings reports for Pansophic were tracked by The New York Times.[9][10][11][12]
