CMCI POST request URI

The URI of a POST request identifies the resources to be created by the operation.

The following diagram illustrates the URI syntax for a POST request.

In a POST request, you do not specify criteria, or parameter strings. You include all the information about the resource to be created in the body of the request.

Options

/CICSSystemManagement
Indicates that the request is accessing the CICS management client interface. CICSSystemManagement is case-sensitive.
resource_name
Specifies the external resource name that is associated with the CICS or CICSPlex SM resource that is being created. For example, specifying the resource name CICSRegion associates the request with the CICSPlex SM CICSRGN resource table, and CICSResourceAssignmentDefinition associates the request with the RASGNDEF resource table. See CMCI resource names for a complete list of external resource names.

The HTTP POST method is not valid for all resources. To determine whether this HTTP method is valid for a particular resource, see the description of the resource in CICSPlex SM resource tables.

Resource names are not case-sensitive. If the client specifies an incorrect resource name, an HTTP 404 (Not Found) response is returned.

context
Specifies the name of the CICSplex or CMAS associated with the request; for example, PLEX1. This parameter is required for URIs that interact with CICSPlex SM. The context must not contain spaces. It is not case-sensitive.
SUMMONLY
Indicates that only a result summary is returned by the request. No detailed records are included in the response.
