Synchronizing Package Count

Utility program CMNRPKSN synchronizes the count of packages attached to a release with the actual number of attached packages.

When a package is attached to a release or when a package is detached from a release, two records are updated in the package master:

  • The release name and starting area name are updated in the package record.

  • The count of attached packages is updated in the release record.

These record updates are executed serially. If there is a system interruption between these updates, the count of attached packages displayed on the Release List panel (CMNRMRLF) will not match the number of packages displayed on the release - Release Package List panel. (The release - Release Package List panel is accessed through option PK-Package Functions from the Release List.)
