<p>The Add Command Change Request Activity (ADDCMDCRQA) command adds an activity to a change request description to run a command on one or more managed systems.
</p>
<p>The activity can be conditioned so that it only runs after one or more other activities have completed (successfully or unsuccessfully). The activity can also be scheduled to run at a date and time in the future.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>You must have *CHANGE authority to the change request description and *EXECUTE authority to the library.
</li>
<li>If a node list (NODL) value is specified, the node list can only contain entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Notes:</b>
</p>
<p>The following notes provide information on how the command works.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Authorization to the product specified on the activity is not verified until the activity runs.
</li>
<li>All conditions must be satisfied before the activity can run.
</li>
<li>The start times indicate when the activity can be started. Actual start times can be later due to network and system delays.
</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>40 = Activity not run for security reasons

</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>90-99</b></dt>
<dd>Activity was not run because conditions or schedules were not met.
<ul>
<li>95 = Scheduled start time expired

<p>The possible condition mode values are:
</p>
<p>This element indicates which systems the conditioning activity must have completed on before this activity can be performed.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*ALLNODES</u></b></dt>
<dd>The conditioning activity specified must complete on all nodes before this activity can run.
</dd>
<dt><b>*SAMENODE</b></dt>
<dd>When the conditioning activity specified completes for a given node, the activity specified on the ACTIVITY parameter may run for that same node even though the conditioning activity specified may not have completed on all other nodes. In the case where this activity lists a node not in the conditioning activity, this activity may run for that node; the condition is ignored.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The possible value is:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*NONE</u></b></dt>
<dd>There are no conditions for this activity.

<h3>Activity start time (STRTIME)</h3>
<p>Specifies the date and time when this activity can be started on the central site system. The current date and time values and next date values are determined when the change request is submitted.

<dt><b><u>*CURRENT</u></b></dt>
<dd>This activity can start any time on or after the time when the change request is submitted.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>start-after-time</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the time when this activity can start. The time can be entered as 4 or 6 digits (hhmm or hhmmss), where hh = hours, mm = minutes, and ss = seconds. Seconds are optional. The time can be specified with or without a time separator such as a colon (:). With a time separator, specify a string of 5 or 8 digits (hh:mm or hh:mm:ss).
</dd>

</dd>
<dt><b><i>start-before-time</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the time before which the activity must start. If the activity cannot be started before this time, it never starts. The time can be entered as 4 or 6 digits (hhmm or hhmmss) where hh = hours, mm = minutes, and ss = seconds. Seconds are optional. The time can be specified with or without a time separator such as a colon (:). With a time separator, specify a string of 5 or 8 digits (hh:mm or hh:mm:ss).
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The possible start before date values are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*ANY</u></b></dt>
<dd>The activity can start at any time after the start after time and the start after date.
</dd>
<dt><b>*CURRENT</b></dt>
<dd>The activity must start on the date the change request is submitted.
</dd>
<dt><b>*NEXT</b></dt>
<dd>The activity must start by the day after the date the change request is submitted.
</dd>

<p><b>Example 1: Adding an Activity</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
ADDCMDCRQA CRQD(MYLIB/CR1) ACTIVITY(ACT01) CMD(STRSBS QCMN)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This example shows how activity ACT01 is added to change request description CR1 in library MYLIB to start the QCMN subsystem on the central site system. The activity runs as soon as the change request is submitted.
</p>
<p><b>Example 2: Adding an Activity for a Node list</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
ADDCMDCRQA CRQD(MYLIB/CR2) ACTIVITY(ACT01)
CMD(STRSBS QSNADS) NODL(MYLIB/STORES)
CPNAME(*NONE) RTNSPLF(*FAIL)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This example shows how activity ACT01 starts the subsystem QSNADS on the systems identified in the STORES node list in the library MYLIB. The example also asks for the spooled file to be returned to the central site system if the command fails.
</p>
<p><b>Example 3: Adding an Activity for Two Systems</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
ADDCMDCRQA CRQD(MYLIB/CR3) ACTIVITY(ACT01)
CMD(PRODLIB/RUNREPORTS)
CPNAME((STORENET STOREA) (STORENET STOREB))
USRPRF(REPORTOPER) PASSWORD(OPERPASS)
ENCODE(*YES)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This example shows how activity ACT01 runs the detail reports for STOREA and STOREB in the STORENET network. The report runs under the REPORTOPER user profile on the managed systems. Because the user profile and a password are supplied, the request will be encoded when sent to the managed system.
