How to Rename a Library after Testing

Step-by-step guide

After you've completed testing a new version in your environment, you will need to free up the production name so that you can move the newly tested version into production.

1. Remove all PKWARE libraries from your library list.

2. Rename the current Production library, to free up its name:

   CODE

   RNMOBJ OBJ(ProdLIB) OBJTYPE(*LIB) NEWOBJ(ProdOLD)

3. Rename the Test library to the Production library name:

   CODE

   RNMOBJ OBJ(TestLIB) OBJTYPE(*LIB) NEWOBJ(ProdLIB)

4. Add this library (with its new name) to your list:
5. ADDLIBLE ProdLIB

6. Reset the PK Internal Pointers:

   CODE

       CALL PKZSETLIB ProdLIB
