Action commands allow you to perform actions such as create, update or
remove on the contents of an administration view. Available actions for a
particular view are displayed as buttons at the bottom of the view's work
area.
To issue an action command from an open view:
- Select the record or records on which you intend to apply the action by
selecting one or more check boxes on the left of the work area, or by using
the Select all button.
- Click the required action button. This displays one or a succession of
confirmation panels. The confirmation panel allows you to confirm or cancel
the action for each selected resource, and in some cases contain additional
options. See for more guidance on using confirmation
panels.
- Complete each confirmation panel by selecting the required button or in
some cases by entering parameters, selecting check boxes or selecting radio
buttons.
The action command is processed and the administration view is redisplayed
showing the results of the action. If the action competed successfully, message
EYUVC1230I is displayed in the message area at the top of the work area. If
the command is not successful one or more error messages are displayed.
There are several common types of action commands that you can use with
the administration views:
- Create
- creates a new definition and adds it to the data repository. An administration
definition name can be 1 to 8 characters in length. The name can contain alphabetic,
numeric, or national characters. However, the first character must be alphabetic.
- Add
- adds an association between two definitions. The resulting confirmation
panel prompts you to identify the other definition with which you want to
create an association. Adding an association creates a relationship between
the definitions in the data repository. Associations can be added between definitions
and groups, between groups and specifications, and between specifications
and CICS® systems.
- Update
- updates a definition in the data repository. The resulting panel is an editable
detail view of a selected resource.
- Remove
- removes a definition or an association between two definitions from
the data repository.
Note:
The Web User Interface does not support the MAP command.
All of these actions affect the contents of the data repository and the changes
are applied immediately. However most of these changes to the data repository have
no effect, on CICS systems that are currently active. These changes affect a CICS system the
next time the CICS system is restarted.
For a list of the specific action commands available for each view, see
the entry for the associated resource table in the CICSPlex SM Resource Tables Reference.
