Tips:
  • The dialog always preselects a default. If you just completed the initialization phase, the default is to start from the beginning of the variable gathering phase. You can override the dialog's selection with your own by typing over the default selection.
  • You must perform the variable gathering, file tailoring, and execution phases in sequence. However, you can exit from each phase and return to the IVP Phase Selection panel to select the next phase or return to a prior phase.

To select an IVP phase and position within a phase, in the IVP Phase Selection panel, type the number that is associated with the phase and location that you want to execute.

If you make an invalid phase selection, a notification panel opens to inform you of the error. Press Enter to return to the Phase Selection panel and type the appropriate selection.
