To process a change package, select primary menu option 3 Packages, enter S next to the change package that you
want to process, and then choose a processing command:
- Package
- Displays a list panel of resource definitions so that you can
add them to the change package using line action P (Package), or add commands for the
resource definitions to the change package.
Line action P (Package) is also available on many
other list panels, such as those under 2 CICSĀ® Resources; the advantage
of using this list panel under option 3 Packages is that line action P adds the resource definition to the
selected change package immediately; on other panels, you have to
select the change package each time in a pop-up window.
- List
- Displays a list panel of resource definitions in the change package.
To
remove a resource definition from the change package, enter line action R (Remove) next to the resource definition.
If
you specify a migration scheme with this processing command, then
on the resulting list panel you can press the NextPage key
(F11) to toggle between
two views:
- Resource definitions in the source CICS configurations of the migration scheme.
- Resource definitions in the target CICS configurations of the migration scheme.
If you do not specify a migration scheme, then on the resulting
list panel you can specify a filter value for the CICS configuration. If you do not specify a
filter value, the list panel shows all resource definitions in the
change package, regardless of the CICS configuration.
- Commands
- Displays a list panel of commands in the change package.
To
delete a command from the change package, enter line action D (Delete) next to the command.
If
you do not specify a migration scheme, then on the resulting list
panel you can specify a filter value for the CICS configuration. If you do not specify a
filter value, the list panel shows all commands in the change package,
regardless of the CICS configuration.
- Ready
- Readies or unreadies the change package for the selected migration
scheme.
- Approve
- Approves or disapproves the change package for the selected migration
scheme.
- Migrate
- Migrates the resource definitions in the change package using
the selected migration scheme.
- Install
- Installs the resource definitions in the change package using
the selected migration scheme.
- Newcopy
- Newcopies any map, partitionset, or program resource definitions
in the change package using the selected migration scheme.
- Backout
- Backs out an earlier migration (no need to select
a migration scheme).
- History
- Displays the processing history of the change package (no need
to select a migration scheme).
For a description of each process, and the order in which you should
perform them, see Migration of resource definitions.
Note: - The Package and List processing commands display a list panel
of resource definitions similar to those shown by primary menu option 2 CICS Resources. For information
on using these panels, see Working with resource definitions.
- If an install or a newcopy action fails for any of
the resource definitions in a change package, a pop-up window appears
describing the reason for each failure. For a description of the return,
reason, and error codes displayed, press the Help key
(F1) and scroll down to
the links for each type of code.
