Resource class key attributes

There may be many instances of actual objects for a given resource class in a CICSplex. Each object instance is a named entity. One or more attributes provide the instance key. For example, the attribute  TRANID  in the LOCTRAN resource class identifies the attribute that is the name or key field. Resource class key fields are highlighted in the resource table descriptions. Some resource classes have multiple key fields.

For resource classes that describe CICSPlex® SM definitions, the key attributes are used to construct the physical keys used in the EYUDREP VSAM KSDS file. For these resource classes, one or two key fields are defined. One key field is identified as the Primary key. The other field, if used, is identified as the Secondary key. A suffix of -n where n is the key level number is aded to the name in the table.

Key fields are used to:

The CICSPlex SM resource table descriptions in the following sections identify the Primary key field for each CICSplex definition resource class.

Note:
The CICSPlex SM notification resource class does not have key fields. The content of the notification identifies the objects associated with the notification.
