The CICSĀ® Configuration Manager server ignores any XML elements in the request that are not required to perform the command. This includes:
You can include an element such as this anywhere in the request:
<MyCustomElement>custom data</MyCustomElement>
For example, if you specify <JournalCriteria> in a List command request, but you do not specify "journal" as the location type, then <JournalCriteria> is ignored.
However, if you use the supplied XML schema to validate a request that contains such XML elements, then you might receive validation errors. To avoid these errors, adjust the schema to include these elements.
