An action definition designates the type of external notification that is to occur when the condition or conditions identified in an analysis definition are true. Examples of how to use this view can be found in Example tasks: real-time analysis.
To display information about existing action definitions, issue the command:
ACTNDEF [actndef]
where actndef is the specific or generic name of an action definition. If you omit this parameter, the resulting view, illustrated in Figure 9, includes information about all action definitions for the CICSplex identified as the context.

Table 6 summarizes the action commands you can use with the ACTNDEF view.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
n/a | BRO | Browse an action definition in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to that shown in Figure 10. The panel fields are not modifiable. |
CREate | CRE | Create an action definition and add it to the data repository,
as described in topic Creating an action definition.
When you use the primary command CREate, some fields in the new view may contain values supplied by CICSPlex® SM; you may change these values. When you enter the line command CRE next to the name of an action definition, fields in the new view contain values to be modelled (from the existing action definition). |
n/a | MAP | Display a visual map of real-time analysis definitions using the specified action definition as a starting point. |
n/a | REM | Remove an action definition from the data repository. |
TEMPMP cmasid | n/a | Change the temporary maintenance point CMAS to a specific CMAS or display a selection list based on a generic CMAS ID. |
n/a | UPD | Update an action definition in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to the panel shown in Figure 10. You can modify the contents of any field in the panel except Action Name. |
There are no hyperlink fields on the ACTNDEF view.
Figure 10 shows the format of the panel produced when you use the create primary (CREate) or line (CRE) action command from the ACTNDEF view.
