Managing maintenance reports

After you create one or more maintenance reports, you might need to navigate to other parts of the Software Management task to gather more information. When doing so, you have the option of temporarily hiding or permanently discarding the reports you created. If you hide the reports, you can re-display them later. Otherwise, you must recreate the reports.

• To temporarily hide the reports, click Hide on the Maintenance Reports page. Doing so closes the page and hides the reports that are displayed.
• To re-display the hidden reports, use the Show Hidden Maintenance Reports action. This action is typically listed in the Actions menu for tables in the Software Management task that provide information about software instances or products. If this action is disabled, there are no maintenance reports available to be displayed.
• To permanently discard the reports, complete one of the following actions:
  • Click the close icon () in the tab header for the report.
  • Click Close on the Maintenance Reports page.
  • Use the breadcrumbs to navigate away from the Maintenance Reports page.
  • Close the Software Management task.
  • Log out of z/OSMF.
