Reuse of CICSPlex SM object definitions

Start of changeCICS® does not provide identical support for resources and functions across all of its platforms or releases. For example, a resource, such as FEPI, that is supported in the CICS TS environment might not be supported on other platforms. Similarly, the amount or type of data available for a resource can vary among CICS platforms and releases. These variations in support pose a special challenge to CICSPlex® SM, which offers a SSI of multiple and varied CICS systems.End of change

Start of changeHere are some examples that illustrate how CICSPlex SM handles variations in support for resources and functions throughout a CICSplex that includes CICS TS.systems.

In summary, if you request a function that isn’t available in a particular CICS environment, CICSPlex SM issues a warning message. You do not have to respond to the message and, more importantly, you do not have to take variations in support into account when creating CICSPlex SM object definitions: you should always consider CICSPlex SM object definitions to be reusable.
