Prepare updates
Click Prepare updates to start a job that changes the
configuration of the z/OS system according to the requirements of the
customization of the service instance that is to be set up. The changes
can affect one or more other services (supporting services) that the service
to be set up depends on. Services can make their configuration
changes:
- In temporary configuration resources that are copied to the actual
configuration resources during the subsequent "Commit updates".
- By generating commands that are issued during the subsequent "Commit
updates".
- Immediately during "Prepare updates" by issuing commands or by making
changes directly in actual configuration resources
This button is not available if:
- "Prepare updates" has been completed
- You are not authorized for the service that must be processed next (see List authorized users)
The task is performed for all of the listed services that you are
authorized for. See the Authorized column in the list of
services.
- Note:
- If you want to know what changes are going to be applied to your system
configuration during "Prepare updates", simulate this step before you
perform it for real. You can also click Browse requests to
see the requests that are going to be processed. Depending on the
service, browsing the requests or simulation can be more conclusive.
