Editing list generation record

Overview

A new list generation record is created each time when a list generation is read in.

Some of the information stored in the list generation record can be changed after the list has been read in.

Navigation

To edit a list generation record:

  • In the List/Report Selection table, enter line command E in front of the list.

    This will display the "Update List Generation Record" panel, where you can enter your changes.

What can be changed?

The following data in the list generation record can be changed:

  • Title of the list
  • Adabas Audit Data Retrieval list date
  • Online retention period of the list and its indexes

    Requirement: The list and its indexes must be online.

  • Item display mode

    Requirement: The list has been read in and processed in item mode.

  • User-defined query mask (layout) that is to be used for this list
  • Archive medium and archive retention period

    Requirement: The list and its indexes have not yet been archived.

  • Archive expiration date

    Requirement: The list and its indexes have already been archived.

    Important: Specifying a new archive expiration date just marks the list for a change of archive expiration date. The following is necessary for this change to be effective:

    • The batch utility B97AXPDT, which updates the information in the Adabas Audit Data Retrieval database and writes a report on the archive media and archive datasets affected by this change, must run.
    • The expiration date of the archive media and archive datasets affected must be changed in the corresponding management system (TMS, SMS, HSM), if applicable.
