Recipient Tree and Approval Tree Definition

The Control-D/V Recipient/Approval Tree Definition facility provides a series of screens that enable you to create, view, and modify a user Recipient Tree and an Approval Tree.

These trees can contain up to 15 levels of recipients or approvals. Each level is identified by a user defined 2-character code and a full name. Levels are installation defined. For more information, see Defining the Recipient Tree and the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing.

• The Recipient Tree is stored as a member in a library (partitioned dataset). It can contain an unlimited number of report recipients.
  For information about loading the Recipient Tree, see the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
• The Approval Tree is comprised of Approval names. Each Approval name represents one or more users that can approve reports from Control-D/WebAccess Server.

  Defined Approval names are relevant when assigning a report for approval using one of the following methods:

  • Inclusion of the DO APPROV parameter during the decollation process (see DO APPROV: Decollating Parameter (decollating mission))
  • Adding reports for approval in Control-D/WebAccess Server (see the Control-D/WebAccess Server User Guide)
  • Configuring Approval fields in a Permanent User File (see Table 73, "Additional Info Fields in the Default (D) Display Type", in User Report List Display Types)
