Receiving data structure changes from a strong sender

In this task, you create and execute a task ID.

Before you begin

Ensure that a CDL file exists. If you want to use change rules, use BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 to create an inbound migrate profile. For information, see Creating-an-inbound-migrate-profile-in-Change-Manager.

To create a task ID

1. On the BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 Main Menu, select CM/PILOT, and press Enter.
2. On the CM/PILOT Main Menu, select TASKIDs and press Enter.
3. On the TASKID Action Menu, type the name of a new TASKID and select Create a TASKID. Then, press Enter.
4. On the Script Selection List, select Receive data structure changes (strong sender) and press Enter.
5. On the Create TASKID panel, specify the information for a task ID.
   1. CM/PILOT uses the name of the task ID as the name for a new alter-type work ID. You can type a different name for WORKID or type the name of a work ID name template.

   2. (Optional) Type the name of a CM/PILOT Application. An Application groups a set of Change Manager profiles. For more information about Applications, see Using-scripting-tools-to-automate-change-management.

      Tip

      If you frequently use this script to receive changes for the same Db2 application, you can create an inbound migrate profile with the change rules that you need, define it to a CM/PILOT Application, and then specify the CM/PILOT Application each time that you create a task ID for this job.

   3. (Optional) Specify a Comment to describe the task ID.
   4. Press Enter. Then, press END.The task ID is created.

To execute the task ID

1. On the TASKID Action Menu panel, select Execute a TASKID and press Enter.
2. On the TASKID Interface panel, specify the data set names to be used by CM/PILOT.
   1. Type the data set name for the CM/PILOT Worklist.
   2. Type the data set name for the CM/PILOT JCL.
   3. Type the data set name for Diagnostics or type SYSOUT.
3. Select the method of executing the CM/PILOT worklist.For more information about executing a CM/PILOT worklist, see Processing-CM-PILOT-worklists.
4. (Optional) Override the options that are set in Change Manager.

   1. Type S to select Override 

      Change Manager

       options and then press Enter.

   2. On the Override Change Manager Options panel, select Override 

      Change Manager

       Options.

   3. Type S to select the Change Manager Analysis and Execution options that you want to override, and press Enter.For more information about the options, see Using-options-to-control-your-environment.

      Warning

      We do not recommend that you select the Autosubmit override option. This powerful option automatically submits the JCL, which is created from the CM/PILOT generated worklist to Execution. When you use the Autosubmit override option, use caution because any error in your specifications might cause significant damage to your schemas and a loss of data.

   4. Press END until the TASKID Interface panel is displayed.
5. On the TASKID Interface panel, create a CM/PILOT worklist.
   1. Type S to select Create Worklist. Then, press Enter.
   2. (Optional) On the Step Settings panel, to modify the Analysis step, type S to select Step 2 Analysis step and press Enter.
   3. (Optional) To modify the Execution step, type S to select Step 3 Execution step and press Enter.
   4. Press Enter until the TASKID Migrate Profiles panel is displayed.
   5. (Optional) Specify the name of an inbound migrate profile or a wildcard pattern. Then, press Enter.
   6. On the Change Manager Datasets panel, specify the CDL file and the data set names to be used by the Import, Analysis, and Execution components of Change Manager. Then, press Enter until the TASKID Interface panel is displayed.

6. On the TASKID Interface panel, select your options for processing the CM/PILOT worklist.

   1. To edit the CM/PILOT worklist, type S to select Edit Worklist.
   2. To create the JCL to run the worklist, type S to select Create JCL.
   3. To review or modify the JCL, type S to select Edit JCL.
   4. To submit the JCL to run the CM/PILOT worklist, type S to select Submit JCL.
   5. Press Enter.

   CM/PILOT creates an Analysis worklist and the Execution JCL that is required to run the worklist.

7. To receive the data structure changes, execute the Analysis worklist.

   Important

   The JCL that you use to execute the Analysis worklist is contained in the data set that you specified for JCL Dataset Name in the Change Manager Datasets panel.
