Panel Migration

Note: If you have not created your own panel file, or individual panel entities, do not perform this step.

Installation-Defined Panel Library

The format of the panel library is unchanged. If you have a panel library that contains only user-defined panel definitions that you want to keep, copy the entire file to the file for the new region. Use the IDCAMS REPRO command to copy the file.

Note: The allocation of panel data sets is controlled by the PANELLIBS parameter group in Customizer. For more information, enter /PARMS on any panel, select $NM PANELLIBS, and press F1 (Help).

Individual Panels

If you have installation-defined panel definitions in the same panel library as distributed panel definitions, you can copy the individual panel definitions to a panel library for the new region.

Important! Only copy installation-defined panel definitions. Do not copy distributed panel definitions.

Copy Panel Definitions

You must copy the required panel definitions to the panel library in your new product region.

Follow these steps:

Define a temporary panel library for your old panels using the following steps:
1. Enter /MODSAD.P.
  The MODS : Panel Library Maintenance Menu appears.
2. Select L - Library Definitions.
  The MODS : Library Definition Menu appears.
3. Select A - Allocate, Open, and Define Library, and specify a library name (for example, OLDPANLS) and the data set name where your old panels are located. Optionally, specify a description.
  A temporary panels library is defined.
4. Press F3 (Exit) to return to the MODS : Panel Library Maintenance Menu.
Copy the panels using the following steps:
1. Select C - Copy Panel(s), and specify the From library as the library name you just defined (for example OLDPANLS) and the To library as the target panels library name.
  If you leave the Panel Name field empty, the MODS : Panel Copy List appears, showing the panels in the From library.
2. Use the C (Copy) or R (Replace) action against the panels you want to copy.
  Note: For more information, press F1 (Help).
3. When all requested panels have been copied, press F3 (Exit) to return to the MODS : Panel Library Maintenance Menu.
Delete the temporary panel library definition using the following steps:
1. Select L - Library Definitions.
  The MODS : Library Definition Menu appears.
