There are several common types of action commands that you can use with
the business application services administration views:
- ADD
- To add an association between two definitions you can:
- Issue the ADD primary action command with the name of one of the definitions.
- Enter the ADD line action command next to the name of one of the definitions.
The resulting 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 resource
assignments and descriptions, between resource groups and descriptions, and
between resource definitions and groups.
- BROwse
- To browse a definition, enter the BRO line action command next to the
name of the definition you want to display. The resulting panel is a nonmodifiable
version of the panel used to create the definition.
- CREate
- To create a definition and add it to the data repository you can:
- Issue the CREate primary action command. The fields in the resulting input
panel contain blanks or default values.
- Enter the CRE line action command next to the name of a definition you
want to use as a model. The fields in the resulting input panel contain information
about that definition.
A business application services definition name can be 1 to 8 characters in length. The name
can contain alphabetic, numeric, or national characters.
- MAP
- To display a visual map of the definitions in the data repository enter the MAP
line action command next to the name of the definition you want to use as
a starting point.
For a complete description of the MAP action command
and the display it produces, see CICSPlex® System Manager User Interface Guide.
- REMove
- To remove a definition or an association between two definitions from
the data repository you can:
- Issue the REMove primary action command with the name of the definition
or association you want to remove.
- Enter the REM line action command next to the name of the definition or
association you want to remove.
When you press Enter, a confirmation panel is displayed. Press Enter again
to remove the definition or association from the data repository.
- UPDate
- To update a definition in the data repository enter the UPD line action command
next to the name of the definition you want to change. The resulting panel
is a modifiable version of the panel used to create the definition.
The ADD, CREATE, REMOVE, and UPDATE actions affect the contents of the data repository.
The changes are applied immediately. The logical scope represented by your business application services definitions
is also immediately updated.
Notes:
- The Version field of a definition cannot be changed.
- The TEMPMP action command is not supported for business application services views. The maintenance
point CMAS must be active when you are creating or maintaining business application services definitions.
- All of these actions can also be performed using the batched repository-update facility, which is
described in the CICSPlex System Manager Administration book.
A list of the specific action commands available for each view
is included with the view descriptions. The online help for a view also identifies
the valid action commands.
For more information about action commands, see CICSPlex SM User Interface Guide.
