CICSPlex® SM resource tables describe the information available for resource
classes created or managed by CICSPlex SM.
A resource class is a template that describes the attributes of the actual
objects that exist in a CICSplex. For example, a local transaction installed
in a CICS® system has the attributes described by the LOCTRAN resource class. Likewise,
the MONDEF resource class describes the attributes of each CICSPlex SM monitor
definition created by a user.
The CICSPlex SM resource classes can be grouped into the following categories:
- CICS Definition
- Definitions of resources that CICSPlex SM can assign to, and possibly install
in, CICS systems. The TRANDEF resource class is an example of a CICS Definition
object.
- CICS Resource
- Resources that exist in active CICS systems being managed by CICSPlex SM The LOCTRAN
resource class is an example of a CICS Resource object.
- CICS Monitored
- Resources that exist in active CICS systems and which are being monitored
by CICSPlex SM Monitor Services. The MLOCTRAN resource class is an example of a CICS Monitored
object.
- CPSM Definition
- Definitions that are used by the CICSPlex SM management applications (such
as Workload Manager and Business Application Services). The WLMDEF resource class is an example of a CPSM Definition
object.
- CPSM Configuration
- Definitions that are used by CICSPlex SM for configuration purposes. The
CPLEXDEF resource class is an example of a CPSM Configuration object.
- CPSM Manager
- Run-time resources that are either built from CICSPlex SM definitions or
created by CICSPlex SM management applications during processing. The WLMAWDEF
resource class is an example of a CPSM Manager object.
- CPSM Notification
- Messages that are generated asynchronously by CICSPlex SM managed objects
to report an interesting event. The EMASSICK resource class is an example
of a CPSM Notification object.
- CPSM MetaData
- Objects that describe the structure of other CICSPlex SM managed objects,
including general characteristics, valid actions, and object attributes. The
OBJACT resource class is an example of a CPSM MetaData object.
Each resource class in CICSPlex SM has a unique name. The resource class name
is used as the name of the resource table that describes its attributes. In
many, but not all, cases the resource class name is the same as the CICSPlex SM end-user interface view
that provides information about the resource class. The view names are relative
distinguishing names that have a meaning only within the end-user interface. A resource
class name is a unique distinguishing name within CICSPlex SM. All requests for
resource data from the API, batched repository-update facility, or RTA evaluation definitions must
use the actual resource class name as shown in this book.
Within this document, the terms resource table and resource class are used to refer to the resource class.
The terms attribute and field are
both used to refer to a resource class attribute definition.
