Applying maintenance for the IVP dialog

Service affecting the IVP dialog process can require that special processing be performed.

SMP/E HOLDDATA identifies the required actions, if there are any that need to be performed.

The following actions might need to be performed, as identified in HOLDDATA:

• Table Merge

  Table Merge is necessary if rows have been added, changed, or deleted in one of the master tables. Table merge causes the changes to be propagated to the user tables in INSTALIB. Default values for variables are not updated for variables that have been changed by dialog processing.

• Variable Gathering

  You can modify the default values for new and changed variables.

• File Tailoring

  You can rerun File Tailoring to add INSTALIB members for new JOBs or TASKs or to update INSTALIB members with new or changed variable values.

• Execution

  You can run or rerun portions of the IVP processes.
