The CHGHLPTREE command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to change the attributes of an existing help tree, a key part of the Wisedesk framework. If ADDHLPTREE is how you plant the tree, CHGHLPTREE is how you prune and shape it as your project evolves.
Use this command to update the description of a help tree. It's equivalent to selecting a help tree using option 2=Change.
The CHGHLPTREE command allows you to:
- Update the description of a help tree
- Reassign it to a different project, resource, or requester
- Modify its visibility settings
- Adjust other metadata that controls how the help tree is used and displayed
It’s the command-line equivalent of using option 2=Change on the Work with Help Trees panel.
Here’s a breakdown of the key fields:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
TREE | Name of the help tree to be changed |
DESCRIPTION | New description for the tree |
PROJECT | Optional new project ID |
RESOURCE | Optional new resource ID (e.g., developer or team) |
REQUESTER | Optional new requester ID |
VISIBLE | Whether the tree should be visible to users (*YES or *NO) |
You can also use *SAME for any field you don’t want to change.
