Add CRQ Activity (ADDCRQA)
| Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL) Threadsafe: No |
Parameters Examples Error messages |
The Add Change Request Activity (ADDCRQA) command adds a change management activity to a change request description. The change management action that is to be performed by the added activity depends on the value specified on the action parameter.
The activity can be conditioned so that it will only run after one or more other activities have completed (successfully or unsuccessfully). The activity may also be scheduled to run at a date and time in the future.
Restrictions:
- You must have *CHANGE authority to the change request description object and *EXECUTE authority to the library.
- If a node list (NODL) value is specified, the node list can only contain entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.
- Global names or component names must be 64 characters or less including one separator character between tokens.
Note: If you need to cancel an installation of a NetView Distribution Manager (NetView DM) change file or other non-IBM i object, you must use the Add Change Management Activity (QNSADDCM) API.

Change request description (CRQD)
Specifies the change request description object name.
The possible values are:
- *LIBL
- All of the libraries in your library list and in the system portions of the job's library list are searched.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the job is used to locate the object.
- library-name
- Specify that only the library named in this parameter is searched.
The possible change request description value is:
- change-request-description
- Specify the name of the change request description object.
| Top |
Activity (ACTIVITY)
Specifies the name of the activity to add to the change request description.
- *GEN
- An activity name will be generated. The activity name is of the form QACTxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the first multiple of ten not already being used.
- *LAST
- The activity is the last to run in the change request. When *LAST is specified for the activity (ACTIVITY) parameter, the condition (COND) parameter and the start time (STRTIME) parameter cannot be specified. Only one activity named *LAST can exist in the change request description.
- activity-name
- Specify a 10-character activity name.
| Top |
Action (ACTION)
Specifies the change management action to be performed by the added activity.
- *ACP
- Causes the managed system to accept a previously installed object. The activity relinquishes resources at a managed system required to maintain removability of a change. This cancels the removability of a change previously installed in a removable manner. The resources released are, typically, unaltered versions of components affected by the change.
- *ACT
- Causes the managed system to activate all previously installed changes. Each managed system implements the activation in its own way. For example, the activity performs an initial program load (IPL) of a managed iSeries system or activates a configuration on a PS/2 and causes the PS/2 to restart.
- *DLT
- Requests a delete action at one or more managed systems.
- *INS
- Requests the installation of up to seven objects. The objects are treated as corequisites, which means that either all installations succeed or all do not. The activity uses an object and its corequisites, if any, to alter all components necessary to effect the change. The managed system can perform such alteration in a removable manner if required, so that a subsequent request (remove) can return all those components to their original condition prior to the alteration. Also automatic removal or automatic acceptance is possible.
- *RMV
- The activity, when run at the managed system, returns (that is, removes) all components previously altered in connection with a change to their condition prior to the installation of the change. This is possible only for changes previously installed in a removable manner.
- *RTV
- Retrieves an object identified by its global name, from a managed system or from another central site system, for storage at the central site system. To retrieve an object from more than one system, a global name with an *ANY token is required, so that each retrieved object has a unique global name. Global names with unspecified tokens (*ANY, *HIGHEST, or *LOWEST) are stored in the distribution repository when they are retrieved.
- *RUN
- Causes a program or procedure to be run at one or more managed systems.
- *SND
- Sends an object from the central site system to one or more managed systems or to another central site system.
- *SNDINS
- Sends an object from the central site system to one or more managed systems and installs the object at the managed system.
- *SNDRUN
- Sends an object from the central site system to one or more managed systems and runs the object at the managed system.
- *UNINS
- Removes (that is, uninstalls) a previously installed component from a managed system. The component may have originally been built from the installation of multiple objects, all of which are removed.
| Top |
Global name (GLBNAME)
Specifies a global name, which is a series of tokens that uniquely identify an object in an SNA network. The global name represents the name that is used to locate the appropriate catalog entry on both the central site system and the managed systems. The catalog entry specifies the object that is to be used on that system. For example, if a retrieve action is specified, the global name is used to determine the object that is to be retrieved on the managed system. Also, the global name shows the location where it is to be stored on the central site system.
Special values in a token position indicate how to search for the object. By specifying *ANY in a token position, the token is ignored when searching for the correct object.
If an object is sent, the global name must have been previously cataloged so that it is associated with a local object name or associated with an object in the distribution repository. Retrieved objects, for which no catalog entry exists, are placed in the distribution repository.
Special values other than *SERVER, *TARGET, *MDDATE, and *MDTIME in a token position are allowed only for the following actions: *DLT, *RTV, *SND, *SNDRUN, or *SNDINS. The special values allowed for the first token are *NETID, *SERVER, *TARGET, *MDDATE, and *MDTIME.
Element 1: Token 1
The possible values are:
- *NETID
- The first global name token value is a network ID generated by the command from the network attributes. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
- global-name-token-1
- Specify the first token of the global name. The first token is recommended to be the registered enterprise ID or network ID.
Element 2-10: Token 2-10
The possible values are:
- *ANY
- Any token value matches when searching for the object where the action is to be performed.
- *HIGHEST
- The object with the highest token value has the action performed on it. The token must be ordered. This useful when a token in a global name is used to indicate a different version of the object and you need to manipulate the object with the highest version level.
- *LOWEST
- The object with the lowest token value has the action performed on it. The token must be ordered. This is useful when a token in global name is used to indicate a different version of the object and you need to manipulate the object with the lowest version level.
- *NETID
- The network ID of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
- *CPNAME
- The control point name of this system is used. The control point name is determined by the current value of the LCLCPNAME network attribute value.
- *SERVER:
- This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &SERVER, and is replaced by the short name of the change control server when the object is distributed.
- *TARGET:
- This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &TARGET, and is replaced by the short name of the target when the object is distributed.
- *MDDATE:
- This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &DATE, and is replaced when distributed by the date the object was last modified.
- *MDTIME:
- This token is stored within the change request activity with the value &TIME, and is replaced when distributed by the time the object was last modified.
- global-name-token-n
- Specify one of a series of 1 to 16 character tokens that uniquely identify the object on which the action is to be performed. Characters A through Z and 0 through 9 can be used. Other special values (@, #, and $) can be used for tokens that represent network IDs and system names.

The component name is used to identify the installable object that must be uninstalled from the managed system.
Note: COMPNAME is only valid when ACTION(*UNINS) is specified.
Element 1: Token 1
The only special value allowed for the first token is *NETID.
The possible values are:
- *NETID
- The network ID of this system is used. The network ID is determined by the current value of the LCLNETID network attribute value.
- component-name-token-1
- One of a series of 1 to 16 character tokens that uniquely identifies the object on which the action is to be performed. Characters A through Z and 0 through 9 can be used. Other special values (@, #, and $) can be used for tokens that represent network IDs and system names.

Examples
The following examples illustrate how to use the ADDCRQA command to schedule activities to be performed on managed systems controlled by a NetView Distribution Manager/6000 change control server. The examples shown here are grouped according to their activity action:
- Accept
- Activate
- Delete
- Run
- Install
- Remove
- Retrieve
- Send, send and run, send and install
- Uninstall
Example 1: Accept Actions
The examples shown here match those shown for the install examples and demonstrate how some of the installed objects can be accepted.
- The install activity added to the change request description is:
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(INSACT01) ACTION(*INS) GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2) CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1)) ACTUSEINS(*TRIAL) ALWRMV(*YES)When the change request is submitted and if the activity is run successfully, object IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 is installed (to be tested) in the trial area of managed system MARYPWS1. MARYPWS1 is controlled by the change control server ROMSERV1. Because the object is installed in the trial area, the object cannot be accepted.
- The install activity added to the change request description is:
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(INSACT02) ACTION(*INS) GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2) CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1)) ACTUSEINS(*PROD) ALTACTCOMP(*ALLOWED) ALWRMV(*NO) RMTSTRTIME((*MGDSYS) (8:30:00 12/25/06))When the change request is submitted and if the activity is successfully run, object IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 is installed in the active area of the system MARYPWS1. MARYPWS1 is managed by the change control server ROMSERV1. The object is installed in a nonremovable manner, and thus, the object does not need to be accepted.
- The install activity added to the change request description is:
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(INSACT03) ACTION(*INS) GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2) CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1)) COREQCHGNL((REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG)) ACTUSEINS(*PROD) ALTACTCOMP(*NOTALLOWED) AUTOACP((*YES)) ALWRMV(*YES)The objects are automatically accepted with a required activation if the following conditions are met:
- The change request is submitted
- The activity runs successfully
- The installation completes successfully (the object IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 and its corequisite REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG were installed successfully)
If the installation did not complete successfully, the objects IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2 and REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG are not automatically accepted. You can accept the objects running the following activities:
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(ACCACT01) ACTION(*ACP) GLBNAME(IBM 1234567 PMGRAB UPD 1 2) CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1)) COND((INSACT03 *EQ 20 *SAMENODE)) ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(ACCACT02) ACTION(*ACP) GLBNAME(REXX PROC UPDATE CONFIG) CPNAME((ROMSERV1 MARYPWS1)) COND((INSACT03 *EQ 20 *SAMENODE)) - The install activity added to the change request description is:
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(INSACT04) ACTION(*INS) GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US) CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS)) ALWRMV(*YES)When the change request is submitted and if the activity is run successfully, an object is installed in a removable manner. The object can be accepted adding an activity to accept the previously installed object EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US on managed system FREDSWS. Managed system FREDSWS is controlled by the change control server EUROITAL.
ADDCRQA CRQD(CCLIB/CRQACPRMV) ACTIVITY(ACCACT03) ACTION(*ACP) GLBNAME(EURO WORDPROD UPD 2 3 US) CPNAME((EUROITAL FREDSWS)) COND((INSACT04 *EQ *SUCCESS *SAMENODE))
