CREATE BUNDLE

Define a BUNDLE resource in the local CICS® region.

Syntax

Warning: System commands are powerful as they provide information about the state of the system and allow changes to be made to it. System commands should be used only by authorized applications and users.

Activate security checks on commands by specifying the XCMD system initialization parameter and by ensuring that command security checking is active for the transaction (either by specifying CMDSEC(YES) on the TRANSACTION resource definition or by specifying ALWAYS on the CMDSEC system initialization parameter).

CREATE BUNDLE

CREATE BUNDLE attribute values

Conditions: INVREQ, LENGERR, NOTAUTH

NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations.

Note to COBOL programmers: In the preceding syntax, you must use ATTRIBUTES(data-area) instead of ATTRIBUTES(data-value).

Description

The CREATE BUNDLE command installs a BUNDLE definition with the attributes specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a BUNDLE with the name that you specify in the local CICS region, and the existing BUNDLE is disabled, the new definition replaces the old one; if an existing BUNDLE is not disabled, the CREATE command fails.

See Using EXEC CICS CREATE commands to define resources for other general rules that govern CREATE commands.

The CREATE commands are not audited because their actions are recorded by other messages.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)

Specifies the attributes of the BUNDLE being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in BUNDLE attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes. See BUNDLE resources for details about specific attributes.

ATTRLEN(data-value)

Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length must not exceed 32 767 bytes.

BUNDLE(data-value)

Specifies the 8-character name of the BUNDLE definition to be added to the CICS region.

LOGMESSAGE(cvda)

Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:

LOG: The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
NOLOG: The resource attributes are not logged.

Conditions

INVREQ

RESP2 values:

n: The ATTRIBUTES string contains a syntax error, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. The RESP2 value is associated with a message written to the transient data queue CSMT, which identifies more precisely the nature of the error.; See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
612: Installation of the BUNDLE definition failed because the definition already exists.
632: Installation of BUNDLE resource resource failed because the manifest is not valid.
633: Installation of BUNDLE resource resource failed because the resource had no manifest.
686: Installation of the BUNDLE resource failed because an unexpected resource error occurred.
688: Installation of BUNDLE resource resource failed because the resource already exists.

LENGERR

RESP2 values:

1: The length that you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.

NOTAUTH

RESP2 values:

100: The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
101: The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to access this particular resource in the way required by this command.
