Unfreezing and Refreezing Components
You freeze your change package before final testing to ensure that what you test is what you install. You also freeze a change package to lock in package information and controls.
After you freeze your change package, if you need to add a new component to the package, you must revert the entire package.
You may be able to use selective unfreeze and refreeze instead of revert to change package information and package components in circumstances like these:
-
A defect is found in testing that can be fixed by changing a package component.
-
An approver requires you to change package information.
-
You need to change the installation date or time for your package.
-
You must remove a scratch or rename utility request.
Follow these steps to selectively unfreeze package information and components.
-
On the Freeze Options menu (CMNFRZ01), type your package ID in the Package ID field and select option 3 Selective to display the Unfreeze/Refreeze package panel (CMNUNFRZ).

Field Description Line Commands Type a line command for a package category. U - Unfreeze all package information or components in the package category. F - Refreeze all package information or components in the package category that were previously unfrozen. S - Display a selection list to unfreeze or refreeze one or more components in the package category. Category General: Package information you can change on these panels: - Update: Control Information (CMNPGNL1) - Update: Package Description (CMNPGNL2) - Update: Installation Instructions (CMNPGNL3) Non-Source: Non-source package components. Source and Load: Source components and the target component types in source-load relationships. Utilities : Scratch and rename utility requests. Install Date(s): Package installation site and schedule information you can update on the Update: Control Information panel (CMNPRSTI). Custom Forms: Type U to unfreeze or F to refreeze all online Forms forms in your change package. Type S to display the Online Forms Freeze/Unfreeze panel (CMNZUNF) where you enter U to unfreeze one or more online forms or F to refreeze one or more online forms. Status Displays the freeze status of the package category. FROZEN: All category information or components are frozen. UNFROZEN: Some or all category information or components are unfrozen. Function Displays the result of the last action taken on the category. -
On the Unfreeze/Refreeze package panel, type a line command on one or more package categories and press Enter. If you typed line commands U or F, the information in the Status and Function columns is updated.
-
After you have successfully unfrozen package information or package components, use ChangeMan ZMF update or stage functions to make changes.
-
When you have finished making changes to your package, go back to step 1 in this section to refreeze the information or components that you changed.
Caution
If package installation JCL is created at freeze, and If you unfreeze and delete a scratch or rename utility request, use freeze option 5 Re-Build to reconstruct the installation JCL after the package is completely frozen again.
Selective Unfreeze and Refreeze Source and Non- Source
Follow these steps to selectively unfreeze or refreeze source and non-source package components.
-
On the Unfreeze/Refreeze package panel, type S in the Source or Non-Source category and press Enter. The Unfreeze/Refreeze package Components panel (CMNUNF01) is displayed.
