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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
If you selected the change package using line action V (View), this command displays an ISPF browse panel containing notes about the change package, if notes exist.
For a description of each process, and the order in which you should perform them, see Migration of resource definitions.
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.
