Filtering the list of change packages

To display the list of existing change packages, select primary menu option 3 Packages.

By default, the list shows name and description columns, with a filter field for the name. To limit the list to change packages whose names match a particular pattern, enter a value in the filter field. For details on specifying the filter, move the cursor to the filter field, and then press the Help key (F1).

To show other columns, press the NextPage key (F11). These columns describe the last command used to process the change package:

Command
The name of the last command used to process the change package, such as READY or MIGRATE. CREATE indicates that the change package has not been processed since being created.
Scheme
The migration scheme used with the last command to process the change package.
RC
The return code from the last command.
Date and Time
The date and time that the last command finished processing.
Tip: To limit a list panel to items changed in the last 30 days, enter TODAY-30 in the Date filter field.
ID
The ID of the user who submitted the last command.

You can specify a filter for each column.

The command filter allows special values to answer these questions:

Which change packages require approval?
To limit the list to change packages that are ready, and that require approval for a particular migration scheme:
  1. Enter the name of the migration scheme in the filter field above the Scheme column.
  2. Enter APPROVE? in the filter field above the Command column.
Which change packages require migration?
To limit the list to change packages that require migration using a particular migration scheme:
  1. Enter the name of the migration scheme in the filter field above the Scheme column.
  2. Enter MIGRATE? in the filter field above the Command column.

Change packages that "require migration" are those that are ready and approved (if necessary), and either have not yet been migrated or have been backed out from a previous migration.

The date and time filter allows special values such as TODAY, which limits the list to change packages that have been processed today.

For details on other filter values, see the online help for each filter field.
