Partition set definition attributes

The partition set definition attribute descriptions are:

Description
(Optional.) Specifies a 1- to 30-character description of the resource.
RESGROUP
(Optional.) Specify the name of an existing resource group to which the definition is to be automatically added.
Resident
specifies the residence status of the partition set.
NO
The partition set is not to be permanently resident.
YES
The partition set is to be loaded on first reference and is then to be permanently resident in virtual storage, but is to be pageable by the operating system.
RSL
For CICS®/MVS™ 2.1.2 systems, specify the resource security value to be associated with the partition set:
0
Transactions with RSL checking specified are not allowed to access the partition set.
value
A resource security value, in the range 1 through 24.
PUBLIC
Any transaction is allowed to access the partition set.

For systems running a version of CICS other than CICS/MVS 2.1.2, leave this field blank.

Status
specifies the partition set status.
DISABLED
The partition set may not be used.
ENABLED
The partition set may be used.
Usage
specifies when the storage for this partition set is released.
NORMAL
When the use count for this partition set reaches zero, it becomes eligible for removal from storage as part of the normal dynamic program compression process.
TRANSIENT
When the use count for this partition set becomes zero, the storage for this partition set is released. This value should be specified for partition sets that are referenced infrequently.
UseLPAcopy
specifies whether the partition set is to be used from the link pack area (LPA).
NO
The partition set is not to be used from the LPA. It is loaded into the CICS partition.
YES
The partition set can be used from the LPA if LPA=YES is specified as a system initialization parameter. The use of the partition set from the LPA requires that it has been installed there and that the partition set is not named by the PRVMOD start-up option. For more details on this, see the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Installation Guide.
User Data
(Optional.) Three 8-character fields provided for any site-specific data related to the partition set. CICSPlex® SM makes no use of this user data.
Version
(Optional.) Specify an integer in the range 1 through 15. Specify 0 or leave blank for CICSPlex SM to assign the first available version id in the range 1 through 15.
