Modifying the Upgrade Definition Type

After creating the file reference definitions and inserting them into the change project, the next step is to modify the upgrade definition type to instruct whether Change Assistant should deploy or execute the file reference. Deploying the file copies it to the location specified in the File Type Code defined in the target environment. Executing the referenced file means it will be run on the Change Assistant machine.

Note:

File references and application engine programs are the only definition types that can be executed.

To modify the upgrade definition type:

1. Open the change project.

2. Select the Upgrade tab in the project workspace.

3. Double-click the File References folder.

   This action opens the upgrade definition type listing all file reference definitions for that project.

4. Choose the appropriate upgrade attributes for each of the file references listed.

   Refer to this table to ensure the desired results:

   Desired Result	Execute Check Box	Upgrade Check Box	Action Option
   Deploy and Execute	Selected	Selected	Copy
   Deploy only	Cleared	Selected	Copy
   Execute only	Selected	Cleared	Copy
   No Step*	Cleared	Cleared	Copy
   No Action**	Either	Either	Delete

   * No step indicates that the generated Change Assistant template will not have a step corresponding to that file reference definition.

   ** No action means that the file is neither deployed or executed in the target machine.

   The default settings for the upgrade definition type are set for deploy only.

5. Save the project.
