Defining CICS Configuration Manager repository records

To define one of the following records in the CICS® Configuration Manager repository:

  1. Go to primary menu option 1 Administer.
  2. Select the type of record that you want to define.

    The list of existing records appears, under these column headings:

    Name
    Record name.
    Prompt
    Last action performed on the record.
    Changed
    Date and time of the last change to the record.
    ID
    ID of the user who performed the last change.
    Description
    Description of the record.

    To scroll hidden columns into view, press the NextPage key (F11) or the PrevPage key (F10).

  3. There are several ways to define a record:
    • To start with a blank record, enter DEF (or DEFINE) on the command line. A pop-up window appears. Enter a name for the new record, and do not specify a model.
    • To use an existing record as a model for the new record:
      • If you know which existing record you want to use, then enter DEF next to that record. A pop-up window appears, with the name of the existing record as the model. Enter a name for the new record.

        or

      • Enter V next to an existing record to view its details. To use this record as a model, enter the command:

        SAVEAS name

        You remain at the existing record. To edit the new record, press the Cancel key (F12) to return to the list, and then enter E next to the new record.

    Here is the full syntax of the DEFINE primary command:

    >>-+-DEFINE-+--+------------------------------------------+----><
       '-DEF----'  '-new_name--+----------------------------+-'   
                               '-MODEL--existing_model_name-'     
    
    

Record names must be 18 characters (AZ, 09, @, $, #, -, and _). Names must be unique within a record type. For example, a CICS configuration can have the same name as a migration scheme, but two CICS configurations cannot have the same name.

Use a consistent naming convention:

It is recommended that you use a consistent naming convention for each type of repository record. For example, here are two possible naming conventions for migration schemes:

To edit an existing record, enter E next to the record in the list.

To delete a record, enter D next to the record in the list.
