Chapter 5 Remote Promotions : Promoting Change Requests

Promoting Change Requests
After completing the necessary preparations, you can promote the change requests by applying them immediately. Remote promotions cannot be applied as a batch job.
Managing Impact to Users
Before applying any change requests, consider how users currently logged in are affected. For further information, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction to Administration of Promotions.
Applying Change Requests
To apply a change request, type A (apply) and press Enter at the command line in the Managing Accepted Requests screen.
If the change request is being applied in its source system, its status changes to C (completed). If the change request is being applied to a system other than its source system, its status changes to L (loaded). For more information about the phases of a promotion, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction to Administration of Promotions.
Target Node and Segment Number Prompt
When you issue the A line command to apply a change request interactively, the Promotion system prompts you to confirm the request. When you confirm the request, the system prompts for the target node, and the target segment numbers for new TDS tables.
Do not enter an invalid TDS segment number. This causes non-system tables to reside in segment 0, which you should reserve exclusively for the MetaStor. If you inadvertently create tables in segment 0, change the segment number immediately using the MOVTAB tool. You can also change the segment number using the DT Define Table option on your administrator’s workbench.
Disposition Mismatches
Should a disposition mismatch occur, you must reset the disposition of the object being promoted to that of the target system. For more information on dispositions, refer to Chapter 4, Target Promotions.
Promotion Log
When change requests are promoted, the Promotion system provides a promotion log of its activities. These logs are kept only if the appropriate settings are set in the @PROM_CONSTANTS table. Review any warning and error messages associated with each promotion request.
Saved logs are also available via Query Promotion Information.
