Adding commands to a change package

To add a command to a change package (also known as "packaging" a command):

  1. On the primary menu, select option 3 Packages.

    The list of change packages appears.

  2. Enter line action S (Select) next to the change package.
  3. Choose the Package processing command.
  4. Enter one of the following line actions next to one or more resource definitions:
    CA
    Package an Add command for this resource definition
    CD
    Package a Delete command for this resource definition
    CR
    Package a Remove command for this resource definition

    A pop-up window appears, prompting for the CICSĀ® configuration that you want to associate with this command. Note that the CICS configuration to which the resource definition belongs, displayed on the line of the list panel where you entered the line action, is not relevant to the command.

    For an Add command, the pop-up window also prompts for the resource group to which you want to add this resource definition. You can specify a resource group that does not yet exist; however, if the resource group does not exist in a target CICS configuration when you migrate the change package that contains the Add command, the change package migration will fail.

    Tip: To package commands for a CSD-based group, specify GROUP in the Type column of the filter. To package commands for a ResGroup, specify RESGROUP. For example, to package a command that adds a ResGroup to a ResDesc, enter CA next to the ResGroup, and then specify the ResDesc in the pop-up window that appears.
  5. Specify the requested details, and then press Enter.

    A list panel appears showing the details of the commands that you are about to package. You can edit the details of the commands, or enter various line actions: I to insert a new command, R (Repeat) to insert a new command based on an existing command, or D to delete a command.

  6. When you are satisfied with the details of the commands, press the Exit key (F3) to package them.

    Otherwise, press the Cancel key (F12) to cancel without packaging.
