Enable Ship Asis

When the Ship Asis feature is enabled you can ship outputs and backout members (and HFS files, or both) according to the backout status of the package. During the execution of a package backout and backin action (including element action backout and backin), the user will receive warning messages in the package log. These messages list the destinations the package was shipped to before the backout function was executed. If Ship Asis is not enabled, outputs from the time the package was executed are shipped regardless of the backout status of the package.

Follow these steps:

  1. Edit ENCOPTBL as follows
    1. Remove the asterisk in column one next to the option: SHIP_OUTPUTS_ASIS=ON
    2. (Optional) Remove the asterisk in column one next to the entry and set the message severity level to C (caution) or W (warning): ENHOPT MSGSEVERITY_PKMR632=
  2. Compile and link ENCOPTBL.

    The Ship Asis feature is enabled and has the following effects:

    1. When a user executes a backout or backin action, messages are written to the package log that indicate the destinations to which package has already been shipped. This alerts the user to decide whether the package needs to be reshipped.
    2. When the user ships a package that has been backed out, the outputs are shipped according to the backout status of the package.
