4.1 Generating the CA MICS PSP Product Change Status


The product change status report assists you in planning PSP
upgrades by providing a complex-wide view of unapplied and
current CA MICS upgrade levels. Use this report to see which
units are impacted by unapplied product changes.  You can
also track the status, date, and job name of product change
apply jobs.

The report has the following five sections:

   o  Apply Product Change Status Exceptions

      Lists product change exceptions.

   o  Pending Product Change not Associated with a Unit

      Lists unapplied product changes not associated with a
      CA MICS database unit (for example, CA MICS Capacity
      Planner Option or CA MICS Performance Manager Option).

   o  Pending Product Change Grouped by Product and Database

      Lists unapplied product changes based on CA MICS
      product with affected database units.

   o  Applied Product Change Status Grouped by Product

      Lists applied product changes listed according to CA
      MICS product.

   o  Applied Product Change Status Grouped by Date

      Lists applied product changes by date.

Figure 4-1 illustrates a sample CA MICS PSP product change
status report.
