Field Description
Promotion notification
queue
Object Code Overrides
Create Environment Field Descriptions: Panel 3
Environments
Specify the name and library of the promotion notification queue for
Implementer on the remote system. The queue holds messages that notify
remote users of completed promotion steps. The value *NETA uses the
queue defined in the network attributes.
Target release Specify the OS/400 target release for the environment. The value
*NETCONFIG retrieves the value from the network configuration.
Implementer uses object codes to define the various types of members/objects you check out
and promote. An object code combines information from the OS/400 object type and source
type. Global object codes are defined in Implementer Menu option 44, Object Codes. This
function allows you to override the global values and establish different values at the
environment level.
You can maintain object code overrides in Work with Environments using F8=Object codes,
and in Work with Object Codes using option 7=Environment Overrides. Both panels look the
same and provide the same functionality, with variation only in how the data is structured:
In Work with Environments, view by environment to work with overrides at the global
level. This option displays the object code defaults and overrides for a specific
environment.
In Work with Object Codes, view by object code to work with overrides at the
environment level. This option displays the defaults and overrides for all environments
for a specified object code. For details on this option, see “Environment Overrides” on
page 133.
Object code overrides applied to an environment affect the environment default values only.
When creating a new environment, the values specified at the global level are the default
values assigned to the object code overrides for the new environment.
You can override the default source file for source-based objects, as well as the default object
library and source library. Through overrides, you can activate or deactivate particular object
codes for specific environments without impact to other environments. For example, you can
deactivate certain object codes if you use database-only environments, and ensure that
certain types of programming languages are not used for specific environments, such as
System/38 or System/36 environment languages.
You can apply overrides at any time. When you change an object code, it applies the latest
overrides created from that point forward; it does not change existing active overrides.
Inactive overrides reflect the object code level changes.
