Change Packages view

Use the Change Packages view to view and update change packages.

A packages view in the CM perspective displays all the packages defined to CICS CM. A CM change package ID can be a name or a number. Change packages with numeric IDs are displayed in descending numerical order so that the most recent change packages with higher numbers are displayed first. Change packages with name IDs are displayed in alphabetical order.

The Change Packages view is included in the default CM perspective. If this view not visible, to display it, click Window > Show View > Other, then click Change Packages from the list in the Show View window.

You can use the tools in the change packages view to filter, sort, and manage the change packages. For example, click a column header to sort the table by that column, or right-click a package to display a menu where you can open the package in the editor, or work with the package by using options such as Ready, Unready, Migrate and Delete. See Working with change packages for more information.
