Define Task IDs

You will begin to define your Task IDs once you have:

• decided upon a task tracking approach (refer to 6.2.2 Approaches for using Task Tracking),

• updated the partition Task Tracking Settings (refer to Set Task Tracking Partition Options) and

• finished Set Special Task ID (if required), .

Before creating tasks, you should define a set of site naming standards for your Task IDs. These standards need to conform to the Special Task Ids if they are being used. Naming standards can help developers to identify the purpose of a task.

The basic steps to defining new tasks include:

1.  Create a Task ID. (Refer to Task Maintenance.)

2.  Assign the user or users to the Task ID. (Refer to Share Task IDs.)

3.  If necessary, lock objects to the task and PC using an export. (Refer to Submit a PC Export Run to Batch in the LANSA for i User Guide.)
