SOLT001

Solution type

The solution type controls the way OMS handles a solution object and the possible values are:

'1' or *CHANGE

This solution type indicates that this is a solution for which changes are to be made. This is generally refered to as a normal maintenance action; Either bugs are solved or functionality is added or removed. The version number is incremented if this solution completes the cycle.

'3' or *COMPILE

Solutions with type *COMPILE are objects that are not part of a change but that need to be recompiled to match the objects that are changed. For example, if you change a file. All programs that use the file must be recompiled environment by environment if that file is transferred through the maintenance cycle.

'9' or *TERMINATE

Solutions with type *TERMINATE are objects which have reached the end of their lives. They are either superseded by new objects or the functionality of the object is no longer needed. All occurences of the object are removed from the application, environment by environment if this object is transferred through the maintenance cycle.
