Understanding Active (and Inactive) Reports and Bundles

The terms used in report and bundle activation are as follows:

• An active report is a report that is scheduled to be produced during the current daily cycle.
• An active bundle is a bundle that is scheduled to be produced during the current daily cycle.
• Reports and bundles in active status are called active reports and active bundles.

Activating a report is the process of marking a report that is to be produced on the current daily cycle.

Inactivating a report is the process of removing a report from the list of reports to be produced on the current daily cycle.

You can activate and inactivate reports individually or by job. You can also activate reports and jobs in batch mode. Do one of the following to activate reports:

• Use the online facility.
• Execute the RMORAP utility.

  For more information, see the Reference Guide.

• Use both the online facility and the RMORAP utility.

The system automatically:

• Activates a bundle whenever any report defined for it is activated.
• Inactivates a bundle automatically when all reports defined for it are inactivated.
