Data interface command reference
There are seven data interface commands.
- DATA/CONNECT
- DATA/DISCONNECT
- You use these commands to establish a connection with a Web User Interface server, and then terminate the connection when it is no longer needed.
- DATA/GET
- DATA/FETCH
- DATA/DISCARD
- DATA/GETDEF
- You use these commands to obtain information about the resources managed by CICSPlex® SM. These commands enable a client application: (1) to request the creation (GET) of a result set of records matching a particular query; (2) to download pages of records (FETCH) from the result set; and (3) to release (DISCARD) the result set when the application has finished with it. The DATA/GETDEF command is similar to the DATA/GET command except that it retrieves CICSPlex SM metadata.
- DATA/PASSTICKET
- You use this command to obtain a PassTicket, which you need to enable the client application to launch a Web browser window that connects to the same CICSPlex SM Web User Interface server as the client application.
Each of these data interface commands is described in detail in the following sections.
