Change CRQ Activity (CHGCRQA)

The Change Change Request Activity (CHGCRQA) command modifies a change management activity to a change request description. The change management action that is to be performed by the added activity depends on the value specified on the action parameter.

The activity can be conditioned so that it will only run 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.

Restrictions

The user must have *CHANGE authority to the change request description object and *EXECUTE authority to the library.
If a NODL value is specified, the node list can only contain entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.
Global names must be 64 characters or less including one separator character between tokens.

Change request description (CRQD)

Change request description object name.

The possible values are:

*LIBL: All of the libraries in the user and system portions of the job's library list are searched.
*CURLIB: The current library for the job is used to locate the object.
library-name: Only the library named in this parameter is searched.

The possible change request description value is:

change-request-description: The name of the change request description object.

Activity (ACTIVITY)

The name of the activity to change in the change request description.

*LAST: The activity will be the last to run in the change request.
activity-ID: A 10-character activity name.

Action (ACTION)

Specifies the change management action to be performed by the added activity.

*SAME: The action value does not change.
*ACP: Relinquishes resources at a managed system required to maintain removability of a change. This cancels the removability of a change previously installed in a removable manner. The resources released are, typically, unaltered versions of components affected by the change.
*ACT: Causes the managed system to activate all previously installed changes. Each managed system implements the activation in its own way (for example, the activity will perform an initial program load (IPL) of a managed iSeries system or activate a configuration on a PS/2 and cause the PS/2 to restart).
*DLT: Requests a delete action at one or more managed systems.
*INS: Installs the objects previously packaged for installation on the specified managed system or systems. You can install up to seven objects. Only installable objects can be installed.
The objects are treated as corequisites, which means that either all installations succeed or all do not. The activity will use an object and its corequisites, if any, to alter all components necessary to effect the change. The managed system can perform such alteration in a removable manner if required, so that a subsequent request (Remove) can return all those components to their original condition prior to the alteration. Also automatic removal or automatic acceptance are possible.
*RMV: This activity, when run at the managed system, returns (that is, removes) all components previously altered in connection with a change to their condition prior to the installation of the change. This is possible only for changes previously installed in a removable manner.
*RTV: Retrieves an object identified by its global name, from a managed system or from another central site system, for storage at the central site system. To retrieve an object from more than one system, a global name with an *ANY token is required, so that each retrieved object has a unique global name. Global names with unspecified tokens (*ANY, *HIGHEST, or *LOWEST) are stored in the distribution repository when they are retrieved.
*RUN: Causes a program or procedure to be executed at one or more managed systems.
*SND: Sends an object from the central site system to one or more managed systems or to another central site system.
*SNDINS: Sends the objects previously packaged for installation at the central site system to one or more managed systems and installs the object at the managed system. Only objects identified by global names can be installed.
*SNDRUN: Sends an object from the central site system to one or more managed systems and runs the object at the managed system.
*UNINS: Removes the objects installed on the specified managed system or systems. Only objects installed through an installable object can be uninstalled.

Global name (GLBNAME)

Specifies a global name, which is a series of tokens that uniquely identify an object in an SNA network. The global name represents the name that is used to locate the appropriate catalog entry on both the central site system and the managed systems. The catalog entry specifies the object that is used on that system.

Special values in a token position indicate how to search for the object. By specifying *ANY in a token position, the token is ignored when searching for the correct object.

The possible values are:

*SAME: The value does not change.
Element 1: Token 1
*NETID: The first global name token value is a network ID generated by the command from the network attributes. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.

Element 2-10: Token 2-10
*ANY: Any token value matches when searching for the object where the action is performed. This is useful when retrieving objects for which some of the tokens in the global name are not known or vary between systems.
*HIGHEST: The object with the highest token value has the action performed on it. The token must be ordered. This is useful when a token in a global name is used to indicate a different version of the object and you need to manipulate the object with the highest version level.
*LOWEST: The object with the lowest token value has the action performed on it. The token must be ordered. This is useful when a token in a global name is used to indicate a different version of the object and you need to manipulate the object with the lowest version level.
*NETID: The network ID of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
*CPNAME: The control point name of this system is used. The control point is determined by the current value of the LCLCPNAME network attribute value.
*SERVER:: This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &SERVER, and is replaced by the short name of the change control server when the object is distributed.
*TARGET:: This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &TARGET, and is replaced by the short name of the target when the object is distributed.
*MDDATE:: This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &DATE, and is replaced when distributed by the date the object was last modified.
*MDTIME:: This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &TIME, and is replaced when distributed by the time the object was last modified.
global-name-token: Specify one of a series of 1 to 16 character tokens that uniquely identify the object on which the action is to be performed. Characters A through Z and 0 through 9 can be used. Other special values (@, #, and $) can be used for tokens that represent network IDs and system names.

The only special value allowed for the first token is *NETID.

Element 1: Token 1

The possible values are:

*SAME: The value does not change.
*NETID: The network ID of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
component-name-token: One of a series of 1 to 16 character tokens that uniquely identifies the object on which the action is to be performed. Characters A through Z and 0 through 9 can be used. Other special values (@, #, and $) can be used for tokens that represent network IDs and system names.
Elements 2-10: Tokens 2-10
*NETID: The network ID of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
*CPNAME: The control point name of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLCPNAME network attribute value.
component-name-token: One of a series of 1 to 16 character tokens that uniquely identifies the object on which the action is to be performed. Characters A through Z and 0 through 9 can be used. Other special values (@, #, and $) can be used for tokens that represent network IDs and system names.

Examples

The following examples illustrate how to use the CHGCRQA command to schedule activities to be performed on managed systems controlled by a NetView Distribution Manager/6000 change control server. The examples shown here are grouped by their activity actions:

Accept
Activate
Delete
Run
Install
Remove
Retrieve
Send, Send and Run, and Send and Install
Uninstall

Example 1: Accept Actions

The examples shown here match the first two examples shown for the install examples and demonstrate how some of the installed objects can be accepted.

The install activity added to the change request description is:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT01)
          ACTION(*INS)  GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2)
          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1))  ACTUSEINS(*PROD)
          ALTACTCOMP(*NOTALLOWED)  AUTOACP((*YES))
          ALWRMV(*YES)
          COREQCHGNL((REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG))

The activity is changed in the following example so the objects can be installed in a removable manner, if removability is supported on the managed systems.

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT01)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(ROMLIB/ROMCLIENTS)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          ACTUSEINS(*SAME)  ALTACTCOMP(*SAME)
          AUTOACP((*NO))  ALWRMV(*DESIRED)
          COREQCHGNL(*SAME)

The objects IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 and REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG are installed in a removable manner. The objects can be accepted by changing the accept activities. The activities were added to the change request as follows:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT01)
          ACTION(*ACP)  GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2)
          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1))
          COND((INSACT03 *EQ 20 *SAMENODE))
ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT02)
          ACTION(*ACP)  GLBNAME(REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG)
          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1))
          COND((INSACT03 *EQ 20 *SAMENODE))

But the activities need to be changed to:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT01)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(ROMLIB/ROMCLIENTS)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          COND((INSACT03 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT02)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(ROMLIB/ROMCLIENTS)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          COND((INSACT03 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))

The install activity added to the change request description is:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT02)
          ACTION(*INS)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  ALWRMV(*YES)

Instead of installing the objects on the single system MARYPWS1. the objects should be installed on all the managed systems controlled by the change control server EUROITAL. (All the managed systems are listed in the node list EUROCLIENT stored in library EUROLIB.) To install the objects on all managed systems, the activity is changed to:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT02)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(EUROLIB/EUROCLIENT)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          ALWRMV(*YES)

To accept the object EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US on all the managed systems, the activity ACCACT01 is added to the change request CRQACPRMV:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT01)
          ACTION(*ACP)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))
          COND((INSACT05 *EQ *SUCCESS *SAMENODE))

Should be changed as follows:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(ACCACT01)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(EUROLIB/EUROCLIENT)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          COND((INSACT05 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))

Example 2: Activate Actions

Change an activate activity to use trial a production version during the activation.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQINSACT)  ACTIVITY(ACTACT01)
          ACTION(*ACT)  CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1))
          ACTFRC(*NO *HOURS 6)  ACTUSEACT(*BOTH)
          STRTIME((2:00:00 *NEXT)(8:00:00 *NEXT))
```
The activation will occur after 2 a.m. but before 8 a.m. the next morning the request is submitted. The MARYPWS1 system will wait up to six hours before proceeding with the activation if the system is still active.
Change an activity to schedule the activation of all previously installed objects on managed system FREDSWS. FREDSWS is controlled by the change control server EUROITAL. The activation will occur as soon as possible after 11 p.m. on 15 April 2002 in the time zone where FREDSWS is located. The activation will occur even if the managed system FREDSWS is still active.
The delay units and delay period are ignored because activation force is *YES.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQINSACT)  ACTIVITY(ACTACT02)
          ACTION(*ACT)  CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))
          ACTFRC((*YES *MINUTES 30))
          RMTSTRTIME(*MGDSYS (23:00:00 04/15/02))
```

Example 3: Delete Actions

Change an activity to delete the object EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US on managed system FREDSWS. FREDSWS is controlled by the change control server EUROITAL.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQDLT)  ACTIVITY(DLTACT01)
          ACTION(*DLT)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))
```

Change an activity to delete all test files from systems MARYPWS1, MARYPWS2, MARYPWS3, and MARYPWS4. All these systems are controlled by the change control server ROMSERV1. The test files on those systems are cataloged as EURO SPELLCHECK TEST file-name.

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQSNDDLT)  ACTIVITY(DLTACT02)
          ACTION(*ACT)
          GLBNAME(EURO SPELLCHECK TEST *ANY)
          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1) (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS2)
                 (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS3) (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS4))
          COND((SNDACT01 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))

This activity occurs only if the object EURO SPELLCHECK EXE 1 US is successfully sent to those systems:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQSNDDLT)  ACTIVITY(SNDACT01)
          ACTION(*SND)  GLBNAME(EURO SPELLCHECK EXE 1 US)
          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1) (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS2)
                 (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS3) (ROMSERV1 MARYPWS4))
          REPLACE(*ALLOWED)

Example 5: Run Actions

Change an activity to run the program or script known by the global name EURO.VIRUSCHK.EXE.1.US on managed system FREDSWS. Pass the parameter /usr/bin to the program or script. The program is run as soon as possible.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRUN)  ACTIVITY(RUNACT01)
          ACTION(*RUN)  GLBNAME(EURO VIRUSCHK EXE 1 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  PARM(("/usr/bin"))
```
Change an activity to run the program known by the global name EURO WORDPROC EXE 2 US on managed system JOHNSWS. This activity should be run immediately by the PS/2. The object should be kept in the NetView/DM2 catalog. The change control server is in the same network as the local system.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRUN)  ACTIVITY(RUNACT02)
          ACTION(*RUN)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROC EXE 2 US)
          CPNAME((*NETATR JOHNSWS))  KEEPOBJ(*KEEP)
```

Example 6: Install Actions

The first two examples shown here match those shown for the accept and remove examples.

The install activity is:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT01)
          ACTION(*INS)  GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2)

```

Example 7: Remove Actions

The examples shown here match the first two examples shown for the install examples and demonstrate how some of the installed objects can be removed.

The install activity added to the change request description is:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT01)
          ACTION(*INS)  GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2)

          ALTACTCOMP(*NOTALLOWED)  AUTOACP((*YES))
          ALWRMV(*YES)
          COREQCHGNL((REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG))

Instead of installing the objects on the single system MARYPWS1, the objects should be installed on all the managed systems controlled by the change control server ROMSERV1. (All the managed systems are listed in the node list ROMCLIENTS stored in library ROMLIB.) The objects should be installed in a removable manner, if all managed systems support removability. To install the objects in a removable manner, the install activity is changed to:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT01)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(ROMLIB/ROMCLIENTS)  CPNAME(*NONE)

          AUTOACP((*NO))  ALWRMV(*DESIRED)
          COREQCHGNL(*SAME)

The objects IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 and REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG are all installed in a removable manner. You can remove the objects by changing the accept activities to the following:

The activities were added to the change request as follows:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQINSACC)  ACTIVITY(RMVACT01)
          ACTION(*RMV)
          GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2)

          CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1))
          COND((INSACT01 *EQ 20 *SAMENODE))

But they need to be changed to:

          COND((INSACT01 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))

The install activity added to the change request description is:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT02)
          ACTION(*INS)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  ALWRMV(*YES)

Instead of installing the objects on the single system MARYPWS1, the objects should be installed on all the managed systems controlled by the change control server EUROITAL. (All the managed systems are listed in the node list EUROCLIENT stored in library EUROLIB.) The activity is changed to:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(INSACT02)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(EUROLIB/EUROCLIENT)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          ALWRMV(*YES)

To remove the object EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US on all the managed systems, the activity RMVACT01 is added to change request CRQACPRMV:

ADDCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(RMVACT01)
          ACTION(*RMV)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))
          COND((INSACT04 *EQ *SUCCESS *SAMENODE))

should be changed as follows:

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV)  ACTIVITY(RMVACT01)
          ACTION(*SAME)  GLBNAME(*SAME)
          NODL(EUROLIB/EUROCLIENT)  CPNAME(*NONE)
          COND((INSACT04 *EQ *SUCCESS *ALLNODES))

Change an activity to schedule the removal of the previously installed object EURO.WORDPROD.REF.2.US from managed system FREDSWS with immediate effect but requiring activation.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CR6)  ACTIVITY(ACT01)  ACTION(*RMV)

          ALTACTCOMP(*NOTALLOWED)
```

Example 8: Retrieve Actions

Change an activity that causes the file EURO WORDPROC UPD 2 3 US to be retrieved from the managed system JOHNSWS. The file is transferred in a compressed format and then stored in a decompressed format. The SNA compression algorithm is used.

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRTV)  ACTIVITY(RTVACT01)
          ACTION(*RTV)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROC UPD 2 3 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL JOHNSWS))  CPRTYPE(*SNA)
          CPRSTGSTT(*DECOMPRESS)  CPRTFRSTT(*COMPRESS)
          REPLACE(*ALLOWED)

Change an activity that causes the object EURO PCSOFT UPD 2 3 US to be retrieved from the managed system JOHNSWS. The file is to be transferred and stored in a compressed format. The user algorithm NVDMLZW is used. This user algorithm is supported if the object is not decompressed at the central site system.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRTV)  ACTIVITY(RTVACT02)
          ACTION(*RTV)  GLBNAME(EURO PCSOFT UPD 2 3 US)

          USRCPRINF(NVDMLZW 37 '/D')  REPLACE(*ALLOWED)
```
Change an activity to retrieve the most recent nightly sales file from each system. The files are cataloged as EURO SALES system-name date-created. The file is sent and stored in a compressed format. The SNA compression algorithm is used. The file must be retrieved after 10 p.m. on the day the request is submitted but before 6 a.m. the next morning when the stores open. All files retrieved must be added to the distribution repository when they are retrieved.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRTV)  ACTIVITY(RTVACT03)

```

Example 9: Send, Send and Run, and Send and Install Actions

Change an activity to send the file EURO SPELLCHECK EXE 1 US to the managed system FREDSWS. FREDSWS is controlled by the change control server EUROITAL. The file is not compressed. The file should be replaced or added at the managed system.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQSND)  ACTIVITY(SNDCT01)
          ACTION(*SND)  GLBNAME(EURO SPELLCHECK EXE 1 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  REPLACE(*ALLOWED)
```
Change an activity to send and install the two objects EURO WORDPROC REF 2 US and EURO WORDPROC UPD 2 3 US on managed system FREDSWS with the attributes that follow. The installation is done to the active area in a removable manner. The installation is not automatically accepted. It is scheduled for 3 a.m. on 13 April 2002 in the time zone where the managed system is located.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQSND)  ACTIVITY(SNDCT02)
          ACTION(*SNDINS)  GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROC REF 2 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  ALTACTCOMP(*ALLOWED)
          COREQCHGNL((EURO WORDPROC UPD 2 3 US))
          RMTSTRTIME(*MGDSYS (15:00:00 04/13/02))
```
Change an activity to send and run the program known by the global name EURO.VIRUSCHK.EXE.1.US on managed system FREDSWS. Pass the parameter /usr/bin to the program. The program is run as soon as possible.
```
CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQSND)  ACTIVITY(SNDCT03)
          ACTION(*SNDRUN)  GLBNAME(EURO VIRUSCHK EXE 1 US)
          CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS))  PARM(("/usr/bin"))
```

Change activities to retrieve the program identified by the global name CUSTNET PCSOFT WDWAPP VER3 941128 from the PS/2 DEVPS2 controlled by the central site CUSTNET. Send and run the activity on all of the PS/2s in the southeast area. The activity is run at 11 p.m. in the time zone where the PS/2 is located only if the retrieve from the PS/2 DEVPS2 is successful. The activity names are generated.

CHGCRQA   CRQD(CCLIB/CRQRTVSND)  ACTIVITY(*GEN)
          ACTION(*RTV)
          GLBNAME(CUSTNET PCSOFT WDWAPP VER5 021230)
