IP: Prefix for In Process

The IP: prefix means the Task operation is currently being performed in the background (but not in a Set).

The operation code is shown next. In the preceding figure, this is a G or Generate operation.

The final part of the message describes further details. For example, (A) KARYNS means that it is currently in Asynchronous mode and the User KARYNS requested the operation.

SP: Prefix for Set Process

The SP: prefix means the operation is being performed in a Set Process. For example, following figure shows a Status of SP: P Approval Reqd.

The status shown for Deploy is called the “Set Deploy Status”, a relatively new Status derived from the different statuses of all participating Deploy Requests (one per Deploy Environment). Status values are listed in the following table.

DP Statuses

Status

Description

Confirmed

All Deploy Requests have been Confirmed.

Staged

Staging is complete for all Deploy Requests.

Implemented

Implementation is complete for all Deploy Requests. Activation is still required on at least one.

Completed

All Deploy Requests have been completed.

Important

A status of Completed does not necessarily mean that every step in the deployment process (Adaptation, Implementation, and Activation) has been successful.

Failed

One or more Deploy Requests has Failed.

Terminated Requests

If a Deploy Request is Terminated, as far as the Set is concerned, deployment for that Request is complete.

Set Deploy Status

These Set Deploy Statuses are also displayed on the Modify Set screen, where they are suffixed by the word “Deploying” as shown in the following figure:
