November 2009: APAR updates to V2.1

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.
