Describes new functions introduced by the PTF for APAR PK95899:
- Option to delete migrated
resource definitions at source
- For each migration path in a migration scheme, you can now specify
a "delete at source?" option. If you specify "yes", migration
via these paths effectively moves rather than copies resource
definitions: after copying resource definitions to a target CICS® configuration, CICS Configuration Manager deletes them from
the source CICS configuration. The default
value for this option is "no" (do not delete at source).
- CHECK deployment
analysis report now available via the ISPF dialog
- You can now check the consistency of resource definitions in a
CSD file by entering the new line action CHK next
to a list or a group in the ISPF dialog. You can also check the consistency
of a mix of lists and groups using the new menu option 4.10 Check Analysis.
- Export
and import of commands
- You can now migrate commands (Add, Remove, Delete) to a CICS Configuration Manager export file, and
then import them on another system. This enables you to propagate
commands in change packages to separately managed CICS Configuration Manager systems at remote
sites.
- Modification to change
package approval
- To indicate that change packages using a particular migration
scheme do not require approval, you must now explicitly add an empty
entry for that migration scheme to the approval profiles nominated
by those change packages.
To illustrate this modification, suppose
the following situation. You request a change package migration; the
system option and the migration scheme option for approval checking
are both active, and the change package nominates an approval profile,
but the approval profile does not contain an entry for the migration
scheme.
Previously in this situation, CICS Configuration Manager allowed the migration.
Now, CICS Configuration Manager does not allow
the migration. Now the approval profile must contain an entry for
the migration scheme. The entry can specify from zero to five approver
roles. If the entry specifies no approver roles, CICS Configuration Manager allows the migration
with no approvals, as before.
- NEWCOPY
batch command now supports phase-in
- You can now specify PHASEIN=NO (the default) or PHASEIN=YES on
the NEWCOPY batch command.
- ISPF dialog pop-up window for remote system connections shows
more information
- Previously, when selecting remote system connections (for example,
when installing resource definitions), the CICS Configuration Manager ISPF dialog displayed
a pop-up window offering a list of remote system connection names.
This list now offers more information about each connection, such
as the VTAM APPLID of the remote CICS system
and the connection status.
- Special
tracing for CCVA transaction when reporting a problem
- The instructions for reporting a problem to IBM® now
include steps to generate a special trace of the CCVA transaction.
