Edit Deployment Workflows of z/OS 3.1 installation

  • 1.  Edit Deployment Workflows of z/OS 3.1 installation

    Posted Thu September 19, 2024 04:02 PM

    Hello all,

    is there a way to edit or change the workflows ST*_YOURORDER, ST*_POSTDEPLOY and ST*_VERIFY in the "Perform Workflows" z/OS 3.1 installation window? The "Actions" menu only displays "Open" and clicking on the workflows results in errors.  Most of the other deployment steps were resolveable, but HLQ, ALIAS and PATH changes were made in the JCL's of the submit deployment jobs steps, as they resulted in errors.

    Cheers, Jóhannes

    Oh no, you modified the generated deployment jobs?!  z/OSMF expects the target data sets to have data set names as defined in the deployment configuration.  I am not surprised you are getting errors trying to create the workflow instances.  I am sorry to say I do not think you will be successful in your current situation.  Unfortunately you will need to delete all of the target data sets, go back into the configuration and make your desired changes, then regenerate and run the deployment jobs.  Once all of the target data sets match the configuration, then you should be able to create the workflow instances.

    If you have trouble defining your desired HLQs, ALIASes, and PATHs in the configuration, let me know so we can determine the best solution for you.
