Freezing ChangeMan ZMF Change Packages

After the ChangeMan ZMF Execution Provider configuration has been added or updated as needed, users, such as Release Managers, can freeze ChangeMan ZMF change packages through deployment tasks.

The fields that are displayed when configuring the deployment tasks to freeze change packages are described in the following table.

Field	Description	Example Values
Title	A descriptive name of the deployment task	Freeze in Dev
Description	A longer description that explains what the task does	This task freezes the change package in Dev
Action	Select Freeze.
Comment	Enter a comment. Note: This field is required when initiating the freeze action from Release Control because the text is used to view the freeze information in the Release Control user interface. This field is not typically required for a freeze configured in ChangeMan ZMF on z/OS.	Freeze in Dev
Environments	Select from environments configured in the deployment path. For example, Dev, Test, and Prod.	<select Dev>

After you create the deployment task, the task appears in the list in red, and you must then associate the related change package with the deployment task. See Linking Deployment Units to Deployment Tasks.
