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.

• Remove all PKWARE libraries from your library list.

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

• CODE

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

  


• Rename the Test library to the Production library name:

  CODE

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

• Add this library (with its new name) to your list:

• ADDLIBLE ProdLIB

• Reset the PK Internal Pointers:

  CODE

      CALL PKZSETLIB ProdLIB
