One of the functions of Inventory Records is to provide data to a CA‑PanAPT Model. The reliability of model processing is directly affected by the accuracy of the information in the Inventory Records.
CA‑PanAPT maintains a flag in each Inventory Record to indicate whether that Inventory Record has been approved (someone has verified that each of the critical fields contains valid data). For example, models can use the Language Type field to select the compiler to process source members. If the model only checks for COBOL or PL/I, it fails if the field does not contain one of these values. Modeling errors cause the APJJ5320 daily processing job to fail. The inventory approval flag helps to ensure that Inventory Records are acceptable to models.
The person who sets up the Library Codes (usually a System Administrator) indicates on the Library Code whether or not each member using that Library Code requires an Approved Inventory Record. By default, an Approved Inventory Record is not required. The person adding or changing a Library Code can change this default.
You can add an entity with an unapproved Inventory Record to a Move Request even if the Library Code requires approved Inventory Records. CA‑PanAPT flags the member to indicate that it requires Inventory Approval. CA‑PanAPT also flags the Move Request to indicate that at least one member requires Inventory Approval. You cannot close Move Requests that have been flagged because of unapproved records until all required Inventory Records have been approved.
