Checking DELTA Lists Online

Once a DELTA List has been created or edited, you can check it without implementing the changes to the IMS control region or APPC data set. The Check function communicates with the IMS control region to verify whether the IMS or APPC additions or modifications can be made.

See Executing a DELTA List for more information and instructions on executing a DELTA List to implement changes to the IMS control region or APPC data set.

The DELTA List Check function invokes the User Authorization Exit during a check of DELTA List elements that implement changes to IMS. The user ID validated during Check can be that of the user actually performing the Check or of the user who last edited the DELTA List. Use the Global Options panel to specify which user ID is presented to the authorization exit. Refer to the installation guide for information on setting global options. The User Authorization Exit is not invoked during a check of DELTA List elements that implement APPC changes.

IMS operator commands presented in a DELTA List are skipped during the Check process.

Note

A DELTA List may contain multiple elements to be changed. An element that is dependent on a prior element may result in a error during check processing because the first element has not really been changed. This error will not occur during DELTA List execution.
