Monitoring and managing the created components

After you created a component, you can check the status of the extraction, and the details of your created components.

Editing created components

After you created a component, you can edit the contents of the component by completing the following steps:
  1. Click the Edit component icon.
  2. Change the component name if you want.
  3. Enable the Adjust advanced settings option, and enter an integer in the box of Concurrent extractions to define the number of artifacts that you want to extract simultaneously.
  4. Modify the volumes or data sets that you selected. Or, reselect the volumes or data sets for the component.
  5. Click Update component. Or, click Schedule extraction to specify the date and time when you want to update the component.
Note:
  • A component that is being extracted, scheduled, or provisioned cannot be edited. However, you can create a new version or duplicate the component to edit and work with it.
  • The component type cannot be edited.

Resuming a failed extraction of a component

If the extraction of a component failed, you can resume the component by completing the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Resume component.
  2. Verify the details of the component, and click Yes, perform extraction.

Refreshing the extraction of a component

To refresh the extraction of a component, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Refresh component.
  2. Verify the details of the component, and click Yes, refresh.

Creating a new version of a component

When you create a component, the version number always starts at 1, and increases by 1 when you create a new version. If you want to add new contents or refresh contents but do not want to modify the existing component, you can create a new version by completing the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Create new version.
  2. Log in to the specified IBM Z® mainframe if required.
  3. Change the component name if you want.
  4. Enable the Adjust advanced settings option, and enter an integer in the box of Concurrent extractions to define the number of artifacts that you want to extract simultaneously.
  5. Add contents, or reselect new contents that you need for the new version.
  6. Click Create component. Or, click Schedule extraction.
Note:
  • When you create a new version of a component, you can add, remove, or reselect the volumes or data sets for the new version.
  • The New version button is available only for the newest version of a component.
  • The component type cannot be edited.

Duplicating a created component

If you want to copy a created component with a separate lifecycle that starts from version 1, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Duplicate component.
  2. Log in to the specified IBM Z mainframe if required.
  3. Create a new component name.
  4. Enable the Adjust advanced settings option, and enter an integer in the box of Concurrent extractions to define the number of artifacts that you want to extract simultaneously.
  5. Duplicate the same contents, or reselect the volumes or add data sets that you need for the duplicated component.
  6. Click Create component. Or, click Schedule extraction.

Deleting created components

To delete a component, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon.
  2. Select Delete component, and click Delete.
Note:
  • Only the components that were created from IBM Z can be deleted separately.
  • a component that is being created cannot be deleted.
  • a component that is used in an image cannot be deleted. To delete a component, you must delete all of the images that use the components first.
  • If you delete a component and image, the volume files that are located at the storage server will be deleted automatically.

Canceling a scheduled extraction

If you want to cancel the extraction of a component that is scheduled to be created, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Cancel scheduled component extraction.
  2. Click Yes, cancel scheduled extraction to confirm cancellation.

Stopping the extraction of a component

To stop a component that is being extracted, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the open and close list of options icon, and select Stop extraction.
  2. Click Yes, stop extraction to confirm it.

Migrating components to the current version

If a data set component that were created from a previous version contains mini volumes, the migration icon will be displayed. You need to re-extract the contents of the component, otherwise the components cannot be provisioned.

To migrate a component, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the Migrate icon, and select Perform extraction.
  2. Enter the credentials of the IBM Z mainframe that you create component from.
  3. Click Complete.

In a migration, the contents of a component might be changed if the original contents that came from the mainframe system changed.

Downloading log

To check the details of the created components, click the open and close list of options icon. Then, select Download log.

Note: Only the components that were created from IBM Z volumes or data sets supports editing, creating new versions, or duplicating functions. For the components that were created from IBM Z CICS® regions and Db2® subsystems, these functions are not supported.
