Querying Package Components

The Package Components function lists all the components in a change package, or any subset of those components that satisfy your search criteria.

Invoking a Package Component Query

The Package Components query is invoked from the following menu of the Serena perspective:

In the Serena Explorer navigation view, expand the node for the ZMF server where the package of interest resides. Then expand the z/OS Applications node, the node for the particular application containing the package, and its Packages node. Right-click on the desired package to bring up its contextual menu, then select the Package Components option.

The requested components are listed in a table view under the Package Components View tab in the lower right pane of the perspective. For example:
