MDUPDSTS - Update Status for RFP Projects/Tasks command
It is often useful, that the status for a Project or Task automatically updates to a new value when an RFP reaches a certain point in the migration path. To facilitate this, command MDUPDSTS is provided to use as an exit point (such as a Post-Installation command) to update any Projects or tasks that were impacted by the RFP.
All MDUPDSTS transactions are logged to file MDCMS/MDDUSTS.
