Certain attributes in the CICSPlex® SM resource tables are for internal use only; you should not attempt to modify or manipulate them. Similarly, certain resource tables can be accessed only in certain ways.
In CICS® Resource and CICS Monitored tables, CICSPlex SM uses the following attributes to uniquely identify which CICS system contains the resource:
These attributes are included in every CICS Resource and CICS Monitored resource table record. However, you should not refer to these attributes in any API or batched repository-update facility command.
The resource table descriptions identify the CHANGETIME attribute for CICSPlex SM and CICS definitions. The CHANGETIME attribute always contains the date and time of the last modification to the definition. CICS definition resource tables also include the CREATETIME attribute, which is the date and time at which the definition was created.
The CHANGETIME and CREATETIME attributes are maintained internally by CICSPlex SM. You should not attempt to change their values in any way.
When a CICSPlex SM specification-to-CICS system group link record (LNKSxSCG) is created or removed, an additional operand, keyword, is required. This keyword indicates how the link being created or removed applies to the current members of the CICS system group. The keywords for the CREATE and REMOVE commands are as follows:
When a CICSPlex SM specification-to-CICS system link record (LNKSxSCS) is
created or removed using the batched repository-update facility, two of the keyword (value) operand pairs cannot be used. The keyword(value) pairs that must be
omitted from the CREATE and REMOVE commands are the LINK and GROUP pairs.
For more information, see the description of the batched repository-update facility in the CICSPlex System Manager Administration book.
The CICSPlex SM API allows the CSYSDEF xxxACTION and xxxSEV attributes to be used in more than one way.
The following values can be specified for the xxxACTION attributes:
The following values can be specified for the xxxSEV attributes:
