The deployment analysis editor is used to edit the information that initiates a deployment analysis report. The editor has two tabbed pages: The Report Query Editor page and the JCL editor page. The editor pages are linked so that any changes that you make to one page are reflected in the other page.

The report query editor is a rich text editor that provides a prompted way of entering the information. The mandatory fields are shown with an asterisk (*) next to them. When you click in a field, the light-bulb symbol next to the field shows that content assist is available. When you press Ctrl +space, content assist shows a list of the possible choices for the field. You can double-click a name in the list to insert the content in the field.

When the editor first opens, two candidate sections are shown. You can remove one of the sections by clicking the cross at the right side of the candidate section. Any changes that you make in the rich text editor are reflected in the JCL editor.

The JCL editor page can be used to edit the JCL that initiates the analysis, when the JCL is submitted.

The JCL editor provides inline help to identify any errors in the JCL. You can hover over each error, or warning, icon to show the cause of the problem in that part of the JCL. Any changes that you make in the JCL editor are reflected in the rich text editor.

The job card information that the JCL editor uses is defined in the Deployment Analysis Preferences page. To open the preferences page, click Window > Preferences > CICS Configuration Manager > Deployment Analysis Preferences from the main menu bar.

Select the template on which you want to perform the deployment analysis.

The Report results page provides an easy way to review the deployment analysis report. The report contains the same information that is generated by the JCL job. Each deployment analysis report consists of several sections. The sections that are shown depend on the type of report that is run.
