Temporary storage model definition attributes

The temporary storage model definition attribute descriptions are:

Description
(Optional.) Specifies a 1- to 30-character description of the resource.
Location
specifies whether the queue is to be held in auxiliary or main storage:
AUXILIARY
Queues matching this model are to be held on auxiliary storage. Whatever is specified on the API request is disregarded.
MAIN
Queues matching this model are to be held in main storage. Whatever is specified on the API request is disregarded.
Notes:
  1. TSMODEL definitions created using the Migrate command have their location attribute set to the default value AUXILIARY.
  2. LOCATION is ignored for remote TSMODELs and shared TS pool models. Using LOCATION on a remote entry allows the same definition to be installed in both a local and remote region. See the CICS® Resource Definition Guide.
Name
Specify a 1- to 8-character id for the temporary storage model definition.
Pool name
specifies the 8-character name of the shared TS pool definition that you want to use with this TSMODEL definition. The name can be up to eight characters in length.
Prefix
specifies the character string that is to be used as the prefix for this model. The prefix may be up to 16 characters in length.
Note:
Note that you can use either upper case, or lower case, or a mixture of the two for the prefix name; lower case is not folded to upper case. For example, queue prefixes EYUPREFIX, EYUprefix, and eyuprefix identify three different queue models. If you are using CECI, or any other application that does not support mixed case prefix names, you should check that your data is being written to the correct temporary storage queue
Recovery
specifies whether or not queues matching this model are to be recoverable.
NO
queues matching this model are to be non-recoverable.
YES
queues matching this model are to be recoverable.
Remote prefix
specifies the character string that is to be used as the prefix on the remote system. The prefix may be up to 16 characters in length.
Remote system
specifies the name of the connection that links the local system to the remote system where the temporary storage queue resides.

REMOTESYSTEM and POOLNAME are mutually exclusive. If REMOTESYSTEM is specified, POOLNAME is ignored.

Note that a remote system name applies only to the created temporary storage queue. A temporary storage model definition can be installed only on the local system. For more information, see Installing BAS temporary storage model definitions.

RESGROUP
(Optional.) Specify the name of an existing resource group to which the definition is to be automatically added.
Security
specifies whether security checking is to be performed for queues matching this model.
NO
security checking is not to be performed for queues matching this model.
YES
security checking is to be performed for queues matching this model.
User data
(Optional.) Three 8-character fields provided for any site-specific data related to the temporary storage model. CICSPlex® SM makes no use of this user data.
Version
(Optional.) Specify an integer in the range 1 through 15. Specify 0 or leave blank for CICSPlex SM to assign the first available version id in the range 1 through 15.
XPrefix
may be used as an alternative to PREFIX. Enter a hexadecimal string, up to 32-characters in length, that is to be used as the prefix for this model. Because XPREFIX is specified in hexadecimal form, you can use a name that contains characters that you cannot enter in the PREFIX attribute. Generic prefix names are allowed, using a single wildcard character, hex 4E.
XRemote prefix
may be used as an alternative to REMOTEPREFIX. Enter a hexadecimal string, up to 32-characters in length, that is to be used as the prefix on the remote system. Because XREMOTEPREFIX is specified in hexadecimal form, you can use a name that contains characters that you cannot enter in the REMOTEPREFIX attribute.
