zAppBuild 3.11.0

[dennis-behm]

New & Noteworthy

This release improves performance by optimised allocation options for temporary datasets (#622), (#588). It ships the C/C++ language script (#513), and advanced impact analysis features (#605).

Starting with this release, you can build files that don't need to be recorded in the DBB Metadatastore (#615) for optimised management of build dependencies and impact analysis performance. It introduces the skipStoringLogicalFile file property.

The --fullBuild type from now on includes dropping the DBB collections, instead of updating them. So, it removes the need to run the --reset option to rebuild the entire dependency data in the DBB Metadatastore collections.

Additionally, it delivers a prototype to enable the build framework to resolve object deck dependencies for COBOL in static-call scenarios (#610). zAppBuild/DBB uploads resolved OBJs for static calls from the build workspace into the target build libraries - aligning with the expanded packaging strategy to include interfaces (copybooks, object decks) from external archives (tars). Please also see - IBM/dbb#282
