Use this panel to provide instructions for installing your change package. Your data center standards and change control procedures may specify what procedures to follow for ChangeMan ZMF change package installs and what information you should provide on this panel.
This table describes the fields and options available on the Create: Installation Instructions panel.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Contingency | Select the option that describes what should be done if the installation of your change package fails. This field is required, but it has no effect on the lifecycle of your package or its installation process. 1. Select option 1 to discontinue running your application's production jobs until a supporting analyst can be reached for instructions. 2. Select option 2 if the package should be backed out and the production jobs for your application should continue to be run as scheduled. 3. Select option 3 to describe alternate action to be taken if there are problems installing the package. In the space provided, you will be able to enter a description (up to 44 characters) following your selection. |
| Scheduler | This field determines how the package installation process is initiated. Enter the globally-allowed scheduling system for ChangeMan to use for implementation into production. CMN: Select CMN to have ChangeMan ZMF schedule the submission of the package installation job. Package installation is initiated by the internal ChangeMan ZMF scheduler when it determines that the package Install Date and From Time have arrived at the specified Site. Manual: Select Manual to have package installation initiated when the package is fully approved. Other: Select Other to have ChangeMan ZMF perform a batch interface to add the package install job information to the external scheduler's database. Package installation will be initiated by an external scheduler like CA-7®, CA-Scheduler®, or CA-ADC2™. Scheduling records are inserted into the scheduler database by job CMN17, which runs when the package is distributed. |
| Instructions (installation) | Enter up to 46 lines of instructions for the installation and backout of your change package. This is a required field. CAUTION: Text beyond 46 lines will not be saved. Line commands: I- Insert new lines R- Repeat an existing line. D- Delete an existing line. |
When you finish typing information on the Create: Installation Instructions panel, press Enter, and the next panel in the create package process is displayed. Your new change package is not created until all new package information has been entered and validated.
