The Workflow interface is meant to allow you to assign and track steps to certain people. Even en masse where you can put all Security items to one person, Networking items to another, by using the handy filters and selection capabilities. It can even keep track of notes that a person wishes to make on the item before the item is Completed. And it can keep track of any associated Health Checks that should be run for that step with their results. All with current visibility to the entire team in one place. Also - if you wanted to add your own local Workflow steps, that is not hard to do. If you edit the z/OS Upgrade Workflow in Workflow Editor. And you have your local steps pre-populated in the Workflow Editor library ready for re-use. You can easily insert steps into the provided workflow any place you want from this library. And then edit them as you desire for the specific release, say, that you are working on. -Marna WALLE z/OS System Install and Upgrade ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
