Chapter 3-8: Update Processes
Update Process Specifications
Update process specifications establish the general attributes of an update process, including log file and PCF specifications. The Update Processes screen is shown below.
Update Processes Screen
The Update Processes screen contains the following fields.
Process Name identifies a specific process and must be unique within type and application.
Control File identifies a file by application ID and file name that is to be automatically managed by APPX during the execution of this process. APPX automatically reads the process control file (PCF) during update process execution. However, ILF code must be used to write, rewrite, or delete records.
The In Progress Message field may contain up to 60 alphanumeric characters and provides text for the message that displays on the screen while the job process executes in the foreground.
Options are indicators that are present whenever documentation (T), rules (R) or additional attributes (AA) have been defined for this process.
