Field Panel Descriptions

Action

Display only. CA‑PanAPT displays the action you previously entered.

Profile data set name

Required. Length: 1‑44. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the data set name of your Configuration Manager PROFILE data set. This must be a standard OS/390 data set name. During ADD and CHG actions, CA‑PanAPT queries OS/390 to ensure that this data set actually exists.

Project data set name

Required. Length: 1‑44. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the data set name of a Configuration Manager PROJECT data set to be used for CA‑PanAPT. This can be the same one you use for Configuration Manager by itself. It can also be the same data set as the PROFILE data set. This is the data set where you keep Configuration Manager Configuration members, pre‑DDL members, Dependency file members, DDL members, and Option members.

This must be a standard OS/390 data set name. During ADD and CHG actions, CA‑PanAPT queries OS/390 to ensure that this data set actually exists.

Dependency file member

Required. Length: 1‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the name of the dependency file in the PROJECT data set that you want to use. This member is created outside of CA‑PanAPT using the Configuration Manager Analyze facility (program AMKGEN).

CA‑PanAPT edits this field to ensure it is a valid member name, but does not verify whether or not it exists.

Global options member

Optional. Length: 1‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the name of an Options member to be used during the execution of AMKLIST, the impact analysis program. Any AMKLIST option can be specified in this member with the exception of ‑w, ‑q, ‑fl, ‑xa, ‑o:, ‑help, and ‑sum. Useful options to specify in this member are ‑cfg:, ‑c, ‑m, and ‑s.

If specified, CA‑PanAPT edits this field to ensure it is a valid member name, but does not verify whether or not it exists.

AMKLIST arguments

Optional. Length: 1‑40. Type: alphanumeric.

If your Configuration Manager DDL members act upon any AMKLIST arguments, you can specify those here. Typically the arguments only come into play during a Make, so most sites should not require anything in this field.

Warning Level (MSL and Verifications)

Required. Valid values: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Default: 1 for MSL. 3 for Verifications.

The Warning Level controls how the Configuration Manager behaves when it has warning messages.

0 causes it to ignore warnings without any messages.

causes it to display the warning messages and continue.

causes it to display the warning messages and then prompt you as to whether you wish to continue or not. A value of 2 in batch is treated as a 3.

causes it to display the first warning message and then quit with a fatal condition code.

The first value controls how the Impacted Member MSL treats warnings. The second value controls how the Impacted Member Verification procedures treats warnings.

Suppress errors (MSL and Verifications)

Required. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No). Default: N.

If you want all messages from AMKLIST to be suppressed, type a Y in this field. This only allows messages to be suppressed, report output of impacted members is still produced. This reduces your output by removing information messages, but if you have error messages, those are also eliminated.
