Purpose
Requests a CICS® Resource
Definition Changes Report.
For a description of the reports that you can request, see Auditing actions and changes to resource definitions.
You
can optionally follow REPORT with one or more CRITERIASET parameters
to select which journal records to report on. If you do not specify
any CRITERIASET parameters, the report uses all available journal
records.

Notes:
- You can specify up to five sort fields to determine the sort
order of resource definitions in the resource view.
- TYPE
- Must specify the value CICSDEFCHANGES.
- VIEW
- The report view that you want:
- PACKAGE
- Shows changes to resource definitions caused by migrating, importing,
or backing out a change package.
- RESOURCE
- Shows changes to resource definitions by any method, including
editing, copying, or deleting using the CICS Configuration
Manager ISPF dialog and
migrating, importing, or backing out a change package.
Tip: To exclude changes caused by change packages
from the resource view, specify a CRITERIASET with the following condition:
COND=(CPID
EQ <BLANK>)
- LEVEL
- Level of detail in the report, depending on the view:
- Package view of the CICS Resource
Definition Changes Report
- Allowed LEVEL values:
- ACTIVITY
- For each change package, lists the commands invoked using a specific
migration scheme.
- RESOURCE
- As per ACTIVITY, but expanded to list the resource definitions
changed by each Migrate, Backout, or Import command that met the CRITERIASET
conditions for the report.
- ATTRIBUTE
- As per RESOURCE, but expanded to show before and after values
of changed attributes.
- Resource view of the CICS Resource
Definition Changes Report
- Allowed LEVEL values:
- RESOURCE
- Lists changed resource definitions.
- ATTRIBUTE
- As per RESOURCE, but expanded to show before and after values
of changed attributes.
- DDNAME
- Identifies the ddname to which the REPORT batch command writes
the report. If you omit this parameter, the REPORT batch command writes
the report to the ddname CCVREPRT. For the DCB attributes and other
details of this output data set, see JCL to invoke the batch command program.
This parameter
is especially useful if you produce several reports in a single batch
job, and you want to output the reports to separate ddnames, rather
than appending them all to the default CCVREPRT.
- SORT
- Applies only to the resource view of the CICS Resource
Definition Changes Report.
Specifies the sort order of the columns in the list of resource definitions.
You can specify up to five of the following sort fields to determine
the sort order of resource definitions in the resource view:
- CONFIGURATION
- CICS configuration
- DATE
- Journal event time
- NAME
- Resource definition name
- TYPE
- Resource type
- USER
- Journal event user ID
- GROUP
- Resource definition group or ResGroup
If you omit SORT, the default sort order is the
first five fields in the preceding list.
