The CHANGEAGENT, CHANGEAGREL, CHANGETIME, CHANGEUSRID, and CREATETIME attributes

When you work with existing CICSPlex® SM or CICS® definitions, keep in mind that the first 8 bytes of each record contain an attribute called CHANGETIME, reflects the date and time when the record was last modified. CICS Definition records also include a CREATETIME attribute, which is the date and time the definition was created.

Attribute fields CHANGEAGENT, CHANGEAGREL, and CHANGEUSRID in the resource table resource definition record, combined with the existing CHANGETIME and CREATETIME attributes, form the resource definition signature and are valid only for BAS resource definitions.

CHANGEAGENT displays how the resource was defined or last modified. CHANGEAGREL contains the level of CICS system that created or last modified the resource definition. CHANGEUSRID contains the user ID that created or last modified the resource definition.

The CHANGEAGENT, CHANGEAGREL, CHANGETIME, CHANGEUSRID, and CREATETIME attributes are maintained internally by CICSPlex SM >. Do not attempt to modify these attribute values. When you update or remove a definition resource table record, the CHANGETIME and CREATETIME values you return to CICSPlex SM must be the same values you received.
