Change Product CRQ Activity (CHGPRDCRQA)

Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No

The Change Product CRQ Activity (CHGPRDCRQA) command changes a product distribution activity in a change request description.

Restrictions:

This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority.
You must have *CHANGE authority to the change request description object and *EXECUTE authority to the library.
If you change the activity, you do not need to be authorized to any objects that are to be manipulated. If you submit the change request, you must be authorized to the change request description.
The product must be packaged in a save file and cataloged at the time it runs. You can use the Package Product for Distribution (PKGPRDDST) command to package the product.
If a NODL value is specified, the node list can only contain entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.

Notes:

The following notes provide information on how the command works.

Authorization to the product specified on the activity is not verified until the activity runs.
All conditions must be satisfied before the activity can be performed.
The start times indicate when the activity can be started. Actual start times can be later due to network and system delays.
Action *DLTCLGE only deletes the save file containing the licensed program and deletes the distribution catalog entry that maps this save file. It does not delete the product.
The save file containing the product is not deleted after an installation. This should be done using a *DLTCLGE action.
If TGTRLS(*ONLY) is specified, the action parameter must be a value other than *INS.
When it is requested to send the license key of the product, a record with the license key information must exist in the central site license repository by the time this activity runs.
All the existing records in the central site license repository containing the license key information for the specified product will be sent to the specified managed system or systems. Only those records that match the system serial number are added to the managed system license repository.
