Environment

Release : 3.2

Resolution

Change the Control File Activity MOVEREQ-APM-level records to OWNER=D.          

1)  Log on to PanApt and in the Main Menu go to  -

            CTL or C - Control file maintenance 

 

2)  On the Control File Maintenance panel,  do an Inquiry on Activity:

-------------------  Control File Maintenance - Entry Panel  -------  CA-PanAPT
Command ===>                                                                                                                                 
Enter Action  ==>      ( ADD or A , CHG or C , INQ or I , DEL )                                                                    
Enter S to Select:                                          
|  Record Type       Key                  Instructions    
V                                        
   User id       ==>                      (Enter UserID, Blank for list)  
i  Activity      ==>          /           (Enter File/Action, Blank for list) 

 

 

3) On the Control File Activity List display, scroll down to the Activity -  MOVEREQ -APM-level  ,  and check the setting of the OWNER field:

-------------------------  Control File Activity List  ----- Row 1 to 35 of 82
Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR 
                                                                          
Action Commands:                                                          
|    CHG or C     INQ or I                                                
|    Last-Action                                                          
V    |       Activity        Administrator  <--- Activity Allowed By ---->
Act  V  Type       Action    Admin   Group  Owner Sec  Anyone  Oper  Other
        MOVEREQ    APM-PROD    Y       N      D    I      N      Y     N  
        MOVEREQ    APM-QA      Y       Y      Y    I      N      Y     N  
        MOVEREQ    APM-QA2     Y       Y      Y    I      N      Y     N 

 

If set to Y, then the owner of the Move request is allowed to approve it at that level.  In this example, level = QA and QA2

 

If set to D, then the owner is Denied and not allowed to approve the Move request at that level.   In the example, level  = PROD
