Chapter 13 Management of Promotion Rights : Managing Promotion Rights to Objects

Managing Promotion Rights to Objects
The Manage Rights screen differs slightly for some object types. This section describes features of the Manage Rights screen that are common to most object types. The remaining sections of this chapter describe additional features specific to rules and tables.
Accessing the Manage Rights Screen
To display the screen for managing promotion rights to specific objects, make the appropriate selection from the Manage Promotion Rights Utility screen. A sample screen for managing promotion rights of screens is shown here:

UNIT and SUMMARY
Available Actions
In this screen, you can perform the following actions by using line commands:
Line Command
Transfer the promotion rights of the object.
In the case of a rule, its promotion rights are transferable to another library, not another user ID. Refer to Managing Promotion Rights to Objects.

A compound object is one that is, by the nature of its object type, made up of parent and child objects. For example, a screen is a compound object with its component objects being screen tables. Other compound objects are reports, menus, and object sets. These actions are available for only some compound objects.

The use of a particular line command could be inappropriate depending on the current state of the promotion rights to the object.
Status Reports from OBTAIN ALL, RELEASE ALL, TRANSFER ALL
The following line commands operate on compound objects:
The result of the command could be different for each of the multiple objects affected. For example, while the command ObtainAll can normally obtain the rights to all the component objects, the rights to some component objects could be unobtainable.
Command Results
A report is produced after execution of any of these commands. The report shows the resulting promotion rights status of the components of compound objects. It can be accessed from the message log pressing PF2.
Sample Report
The screen below contains a sample status report following the use of the P (ObtainAll) line command on a screen. It confirms the successful acquisition of promotion rights to the screen itself, as well as to each of its component screen tables.

 
--------------------- INFORMATION LOG ----------------------
COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> P
Rights for SCREEN PRRSKWSEARCH and its children being obtained
**** Beginning obtain all rights for object "PRRSKWSEARCH" ****
Rights for "PRRSKWSEARCH" type "SCREEN" obtained

Rights for "PRRSKWSUMMLST" type "SCRTBL" obtained
**** Obtain all rights completed ****
 
PFKEYS: 2=NEXT LOG 3=EXIT 5=REPEAT 12=EXIT 13=PRINT

 
If you do more than one P, S, or U line command at the same time, you see only the report of the last operation.
Prompting for the TRANSFER Line Command
When you use the T or U line command, you must specify to whom the promotion rights are to be transferred. For each object with the transfer line command, a screen similar to the one shown below appears, prompting for this information:

 
To complete this command:
NAME BORROWER UNIT SUMMARY*
---------------- ---------------- -------- -------------------------------
T QUEUE_DEF USR40 BATCH batch queue definition screen
Enter parameter(s): Transfer Screen Rights to Borrower
TRANSFER_TO ===> USR50
 
 
 
PFKEYS: ENTER=PROCESS 3=PROCESS 12=CANCEL

 
Responses
For a rule, enter the library to which you intend to transfer the promotion rights. This rule must exist in the library before you can successfully transfer rights.
