Construction Change Impact Report

Use the Construction Change Impact report to view the application components that would require regeneration if a change occurs. When you select the objects that are proposed for change, the report shows the components that require regeneration if that change occurs. Every aggregate object that you select is in the report. Since no changes are made no application components are marked for regeneration.

Follow these steps:

  1. Display the Application System Regeneration menu.
  2. Type 1 for Construction change impact report and press Enter.

    The Construction Change Impact panel displays.

  3. Type the Host Encyclopedia name of the model.
  4. Use the Tab key to position the cursor at the field and press the Prompt key for a list of valid choices.
  5. Select a model name from the list by typing any character except a period (.) or a space character next to the name and press Enter.
    1. Scope the business system by placing a slash character (/) opposite the option to enable. Place a period (.) or a space character opposite the option to disable.
    2. Type a business system name only when regenerating a single business system. To regenerate all business systems, do not type a name in this blank.
    3. Use the Tab key to position the cursor at the field and press the Prompt key for a list of valid choices.
    4. Select a business system name from the list by typing any character except a period (.) or a space character next to the name and press Enter.

    The Object Occurrences panel displays. The list contains all object occurrences of the first type selected.

  10. Type S or E next to the objects you to select for reporting.
  11. Press Enter.

    If you did not expand objects, the system displays the message:

    Input has been accepted, press "enter" or enter "accept" command to proceed.
    

    If you expanded objects, the system displays the Expanded Occurrences panel to select more objects to add to the report using S to add to the report and E for further expansion, if available. CA Gen displays an error message if the selected object cannot be expanded.

    When you complete expansion and have added the required objects to the list to be analyzed, press Enter. The Object Occurrences panel displays.

  12. Press Enter.

    The Confirm Change Impact List panel displays.

  13. Type a slash character (/) next to an aggregate object occurrence to remove from the list. The system responds with a message indicating that the selected objects were removed from the list.
  14. Press Enter to begin processing or click Cancel to stop processing.

    If you cancelled processing, the Select Aggregate Object Types panel opens to allow selection of new analysis criteria.

    If you chose foreground processing, CA Gen processes the selection that you made.

    The JCL is presented in ISPF Edit mode.
