Chapter 4 Target Promotions : Identifying Change Requests and Their Source

Identifying Change Requests and Their Source
Before you can actively manage your target promotions, you must complete the following tasks:
Task A Access the Target Promotion Administration Menu
The Target Promotion Administration menu gives you access to all target promotion administration functions. To invoke this menu, select the Target Promotion Admin option from the TIBCO Object Service Broker administrator’s workbench:
PT Target Promotion Admin ==>
The Manage Change Requests screen appears:

 
Manage Change Requests from DDCSDCELO50A Date: 27/02/00
Load Change Requests
From Change # 0 To Change # 0
_ Apply Requests
_ Backout Requests
_ Query Promotion Information
_ Display Users Logged On
_ Suspend All Level 1 Users Access
_ Restore All Level 1 Users Access
PFKEYS: 3=EXIT 12=EXIT
Warning: There are 33 additional users on the system

 
Query Promotion Information
The Query Promotion Information option provides information on change request activities. It shows which change requests include given objects and which were manipulated by given users. For more information about this option, refer to Chapter 14, Queries for Information on Promotions.
Task B Identify the source system of the change requests (the system from which the change requests are originating)
The change requests that you are managing with the target promotion administration functions could originate from a number of different source systems. Before you select a function from the Target Promotion Administration menu, you must identify the source system for those change requests.
Method of Identification
Enter the source system’s node name in the appropriate field of the menu screen. In the following example, NODE1 is the node name:
Manage Change Requests from NODE1
If you want to manage change requests from various source systems, you can manage them in sets according to their source node names. Switch from one source node name to the next by returning to the menu.
Task C Select a range of change request numbers to be loaded into the target system
Use the Load Change Requests field in the menu screen to enter the range of change request numbers you want to load.
Loading New Change Requests
If you specify change request numbers other than zero, for example, From Change # 843 To Change # 897, the Target Promotion system looks for extract files that correspond to the change request range (there is one extract data set per change request). The Target Promotion system then accesses the range of these data sets according to the range of numbers you entered. When information is loaded for these change requests, they become known to the target system.
Accessing Change Requests Already Loaded
If you leave the range values at zero, no new change request information is loaded. However, change requests already known to the target system are made available. A change request is known to the target system if either of the following applies:
The change request was explicitly loaded into the target system by previous specification of Load Change Requests range numbers.
