Amending applications in the long-term plan online

You can modify or browse individual occurrences of an application in the long-term plan by using the ONLINE option from the MAINTAINING THE LONG TERM PLAN panel. You can:
  • Add an application occurrence to the plan
  • Delete an application occurrence from the plan
  • Remove an occurrence from an occurrence group
  • List all the occurrences of an application in the plan
  • List all members of an occurrence group
  • Browse individual application occurrences in the plan
  • Browse the dependencies of application occurrences in the plan
  • Change application occurrences in the plan
  • Change the dependencies of application occurrences in the plan. You can:
    • Create or delete non-conditional dependencies.
    • Delete conditional dependencies.
  • Prepare job statements for an occurrence in the plan
  • Delete, complete, or add an occurrence group

When you modify the long-term plan with these panel functions, HCL Workload Automation for Z updates the plan online, so there is no need to run any batch jobs to carry out your changes. However, if you have made many manual changes, run a print of the long-term plan to verify that the changes are accurate.

A dependency in the long-term plan is between application occurrences. The long-term plan itself does not contain any operations or any operation-level information. When you browse dependencies on an operation level in the LTP panel, the displayed information is therefore only an estimation of how the operations will actually be connected when the current plan is extended.
