ENTMAINT Mode - Entity Maintenance › Update Occurrences › Update Status

Update Status

You can update the status of a non-Model occurrence in ENTMAINT Mode. For example, you can change a TEST status occurrence to a PROD status occurrence or change a PROD status occurrence to HIST status.

Qualified (QUAL) production status indicates that the occurrence is in the process of being updated from TEST status to PROD status. You can update the status of an occurrence to QUAL status except an occurrence of those entities which are included in the CA Datacom/DB Model or CA FILE Model. You can only update an occurrence in QUAL production status to TEST status.

Note: Other CA products maintain the status of certain occurrences of some entity-types. Perform status maintenance for those occurrences as defined by the product.

When you select the UPDATE STATUS option, CA Datacom Datadictionary presents a Selection Criteria Fill-in panel similar to the following:
