MKS Implementer 2006 Administration Guide

Field Description
Environments
Archive library Specify the library to contain the archived versions of source/objects. Only
required when archiving objects. You must specify a library name to add
the number of versions in the Archive versions field.
AS/SET definitions and generated traditional objects are managed
independently and require separate archive locations for traditional objects
and definitions.
The value *CALC applies to primary release management environments.
For details, see the MKS Implementer 2006 Release Management Guide.
Create Request defaults
The following fields define the default values when creating a promotion request for this environment.
The Chg field defines whether the user can override the default value when creating a request.
Compile required Specify whether to compile all source-based objects using the Compile
Requests function before moving the objects into this environment. Ensure
the objects compile with the correct library list.
Y: Objects compile before the move.
N: Bypasses the Compile Request function. After creating a request,
you can move the objects into this environment using the Move
Requests function. Use this option for AS/SET definitions and LANSA
objects.
Auto submit in
create rqs
Create Environment Field Descriptions: Panel 1
Specify whether to automatically submit the promotion when creating a
request.
Y: Promotions automatically submit.
N: Promotions are held. To promote the request use: Compile Request,
Move Request, or Move Requests by System/Environment.
Through step Specify how many steps of the promotion to perform when auto-submitted
from Create Request. Each subsequent step includes the prior step, for
example, compile includes model copy, distribute includes model copy and
compile, and move includes model copy, compile, and distribute. If using
promotion scheduling, it is performed for the last step specified as the
submit through step.
1=Export: Valid only for LANSA environments. Exports LANSA objects
on the request to a save file. Verify successful completion of the process
by manually reviewing the export reports generated by LANSA.
2=Compile: Valid only when Compile required = Y.
3=Distribute: Valid only for remote environments.
4=Move: No special edits.
