Reverting a Change Package

The process of reverting an installed change package differs between an All environment and a DP/P environment.

Reverting in an All Environment

For an A environment, follow these steps.

  1. Access the Revert Change Package panel.

  2. On the Revert Change Package panel, type the Package ID of the package you want to revert and press Enter. The site - Revert Reasons panel (CMNREVRS) is displayed.

    ...

  3. On the site - Revert Reasons panel, type up to nine lines of text explaining the reason why the package is being reverted. You must type at least one character on the panel. Press Enter to process the revert request.

  4. When revert processing is complete, the package status is changed to DEV as shown here on the Change Package List panel.

Reverting at a Remote Site

Reverting a package in a P instance at a remote site is performed the same as reverting on an A instance.

Note

You can revert a package at all installed sites from the D or DP instance where the package was created. There is no requirement to logon to a P instance to revert a package there.

Reverting in a DP/P Environment

For a DP/P instance, follow these steps.

  1. Access the Revert Change Package panel.

  2. On the Revert Change Package panel, type the Package ID of the package you want to revert, and press Enter.

  3. If the package is scheduled for installation at more than one site, the Revert: Site Information panel (CMNRVSTI) is displayed.

    ...

  4. On the Revert: Site Information panel, select one or more sites where you want to revert the package, and press Enter. The site - Revert Reasons panel (CMNREVRS) is displayed for the first selected site.

    ...

  5. On the site - Revert Reasons panel, type up to nine lines of text explaining the reason why the package is being reverted. You must type at least one character on the panel. Press Enter.

  6. If the site from which you are reverting the package is a remote site, the Submit Remote Revert Request panel is displayed. The revert request job is submitted by the D or DP instance, and it connects to the P instance using TCP/IP to request the revert.

    ...

    CMNRVJCD                     Submit Remote Revert Request
Command ===>

    Site: SERT9    Package: ACTP000076    Creator: USER239    Status: BAK

===> //         CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=USER239____________________________
===> //*_____________________________________________________________________
===> //*_____________________________________________________________________

  7. Update the Job Statement Information, if necessary, and press Enter to submit the remote revert request job.

  8. If you selected additional sites for revert, the site - Revert Reasons panel is displayed for each site. Type revert reasons for each site, and submit the remote revert request if required.

  9. When revert processing is completed for a site, the Site Status on the Revert: Site Information panel is changed to DEV.

    ...
