<request> element

The <request> element is the root element for the body XML of a CICS® management client interface POST or PUT request.

In a POST request, the <request> element contains one child <create> element. In a PUT request, the <request> element can contain one child <update> element or one <action> element, as shown in the example.

In a DELETE request, the <request> element is typically empty. If specified, the <request> element must contain one child <delete> element.

A CMCI request can contain only one <request> element.
