Packaging Options

The Packaging Tool is used to identify the minimum number of objects required to generate and install the source code for a load module or operations library. Packaging does not create the source code for an executable load module or operations library; that is done by generation.

The following options are available with the Packaging Tool:

Online
Batch
Window
Cooperative
Component
z/OS Library

To perform packaging

Select Construction (from either the CA Gen tree view or the menu bar).
Select Packaging.
Select Diagram.
Select Open.
Select the required Packaging option.

For online, batch, Window, and cooperative packaging, a packaged load module contains at least the procedure steps and names for the generated source code files. A packaged load module also contains other information depending on its type. For Component Packaging, a packaged operations library contains at least the action blocks and names for the generated source code files.

The packaging information for all packaging types is transferred to the host when a model is checked in.
