Before you begin:
Steps to run the prepare cross-scope updates task:
Tip: You can also click Browse requests to see the requests that are going to be processed. Depending on the service, browsing the requests or simulation can be more conclusive.
This job can take a long time. The job progress can be seen in the progress bar at the bottom of the panel. The job status is displayed next to the progress bar.
You do not have to keep the "Update center" displayed during the entire time that the job is running. You can close it and optionally reopen it later to check the job progress. When the job finishes, you receive a job completion notification even if the "Update center" is closed.
You can even log off from the workplace as soon as the job has been submitted. You receive the job completion notification when you next log on if the job has finished by then.
If the list of services contains services for which you are not authorized, these services were not included in the Prepare updates. Select each service in the list and click List authorized users. Inform one of the authorized users that Prepare updates is pending for the respective service.
When Prepare updates has been performed successfully for all services in the list for both the "System" and the "Sysplex", Commit updates becomes available in the task navigation area. Select Commit updates to proceed with the "Commit cross-scope updates" task.
