Retrieve

Retrieve copies assigned members to the starting library (commonly called the test library) of the associated Library Code. The Retrieve function is only active for those Library Code definitions that have Retrieve enabled and contain Retrieve model specifications. You can access the Retrieve function explicitly through the Inventory File Maintenance and Move Request Maintenance action of Assign and Retrieve (RET). When you use this action, CA‑PanAPT displays all members successfully Assigned on a Retrieve Processing Options panel. A Retrieve job stream is generated from the selected options by the Retrieve model that is associated with the Library Code.

In addition, you can access the Retrieve function implicitly through the Move Request Maintenance of ADD, assign (ASN), change (CHG), or copy (COP), or the Inventory File Maintenance action assign (ASN). Members added to a Move Request that are processed by Assignment are also processed if the Library Code for the member meets the conditions above and:

• Auto Assignment is enabled (except when action is ASN).
• Auto Retrieve is enabled.

As in the RET action, a Retrieve Processing Options panel displays all members successfully Assigned and with Retrieve enabled in the appropriate Library Code. A Retrieve job stream is generated using the options selected by the Retrieve model that is associated with each member.
