Managing tasks


Sets are collections of tasks that make up a project, work package, or change request. After the tasks are run and completed, the set releases them to use again in other operations.

Tasks are the components that need to be added, deleted, or changed for a particular piece of work.

When you click a Set ID in the Approvals table, the Tasks page is displayed. The Tasks table contains a list of all tasks within a set.

The Tasks table includes the following information about each task:

  • Type
  • Member name
  • External version number
  • Module's current level in the change cycle
  • Last update operation performed
  • User ID of the person performing the last update operation
  • Application code
  • Sub application code
  • Date and time of the last update operation
  • Status of the last update operation
  • Internally-set Code Pipeline message
  • Internal version number
  • Version this task can replace
  • Member environment in which the task exists
  • Checkout path or signout level
  • Class
  • Working name assigned to this component via a RENAME (RE) operation
  • Set that the approval request was created for
  • Release
  • Assignment
  • Stream
  • Application group
  • Program type indicated by Y (executable component) and N (subroutine/non-executable component)
  • SQL indicated by Y (contains SQL) and N (no SQL)
  • IMS indicated by Y (contains IMS) and N (no IMS)
  • CICS indicated by Y (contains CICS) and N (no CICS)
  • Flags that are fields, which you can customize
  • Gen Parm that is a customizable field you can use to indicate generation information such as the way the component is generated via compile and link options or the name of a test job to run.

On the UI, you can move a column, refresh, copy, print, and export the table, choose columns to view in the table, filter and sort the values in the table, and choose how many records you want to view in the table. For more information about these actions, see Common-UI-actions.
