Executing workflow items

By issuing the "W" Work Flow action against the newly created configuration, a table with the related work items is shown. The number of work items will vary, depending on the items that were configured earlier in the process.

Command ===>                                                 Scroll ===> PAGE


The Work Items are listed in the suggested order of execution.
To Generate work items, select G (Generate configuration jobs)

You can now edit each item (E or S command) to verify what it exactly does, and then execute it (A command). Some items will be executed by the utility (such as copying members). Other items will prompt you to do a manual action with the provided information (for example, updating PARMLIB members).

Also note that some items require authority that you might not have (such as RACF® administrator). In this case, just give the person with sufficient authority the following information and ask that person to execute the related work items:
  • Startup instructions for the tool (product HLQ and user HLQ are the two related variables)
  • Which configuration to select
