Unblocking a Release

Unblocking a release unlocks the release for further changes. Unblocking a release does not unblock the areas in the release. You must unblock release areas to change release components.

If a release is unblocked, all approvals entered up to that point are cleared, and they must be entered again after the release is blocked.

Follow these steps to unblock a release.

  1. Follow these steps to access the release that you want to unblock.

    1. Type =7 on the Command or Option line of any panel in ChangeMan ZMF, then press Enter.

    2. Type release selection criteria in fields on the Release List Specifications Parameters panel, or leave the fields blank, and press Enter.

      The Release List panel is displayed.
