Creating a New Application

Perform these steps to create a new application.

  1. On the Application Administrative Options panel, type the mnemonic for the new application in the APPLICATION field. The application mnemonic must be three or four characters long, and the first character of the mnemonic must be alphabetic or national (@ $ #).

    Note

    Your security administrator must add the new application mnemonic to the resource class you use for ChangeMan ZMF and grant you UPDATE access before you can create the application in ChangeMan ZMF. See Pre-Implementation Decisions.

  2. Type 1 on the Option line and press Enter. A popup window Create New Application - application (CMNGLP00) is displayed over the Update Application Administration Options panel.

    ...

  3. If you want to create your new application from Global Administration defaults, leave the fields on the Create New Application - application popup window (CMNGLP00) blank. If you want to copy the configuration of an existing application into your new application, type the application mnemonic of the model into the Optional Model to Copy Forward field. You can modify the copied configuration later using the Update Application Administration Options panel.

  5. You can proceed to enter and change application parameters for your new application on this and subsequent application Parameters panels (see Setting Application Parameters), or you can press END/PF3 to return to the Update Application Administration Options panel without making changes.

    Note

    If you use END/PF3 to return to the Update Application Administration Options panel, the short ISPF message "Request Cancelled" is displayed. The message means that any application parameter changes you made are cancelled; the application has still been successfully created.
