Undefined object processing

In some situations, a batch request utility job step may contain a command to change the state of a particular resource, even though the resource has not yet been defined to CICS® BAC. This results in an "undefined object" in CICS terminology. Likewise, if the CICS BAC state change monitor is active and tracking resource state changes, it may encounter a state change request for an undefined resource. The following settings specify appropriate behavior for the CICS BAC batch request utility when it encounters an undefined object during batch request processing.
