Resource signature field values

The resource signature fields capture when the resource is defined, installed, and last changed.

Resource signature fields lists the fields and the possible values for each one. Table 1 shows the combination of values that are returned, depending how the resource is defined.

Resource signature fields

DEFINESOURCE
The source of the resource definition. The DEFINESOURCE value depends on the CHANGEAGENT.
DEFINETIME
The time when the resource definition was created using the DEFINE, USERDEFINE, COPY, MOVE, or RENAME commands. When you alter an existing resource by using the ALTER command, the value specified by DEFINETIME does not change. On CEDA panels, the date is displayed in the format that you specified in the DATFORM system initialization parameter.
CHANGEAGENT
How the resource was defined or last modified:
AUTOINSTALL
From autoinstall
CSDAPI
From CEDA, the programmable interface to DFHEDAP, or EXEC CICS® CSD command
CSDBATCH
DFHCSDUP
DREPAPI
From CICSPlex® SM BAS API command
DYNAMIC
  • A PIPELINE scan (URIMAP or WEBSERVICE).
  • CICS web template management, using DFHWBTL or DFHWBBMS (DOCTEMPLATE).
  • The installation of a DB2ENTRY resource definition with transaction ID specified (DB2TRAN).
  • The installation of an ATOMSERVICE resource definition with XSDBIND specified (XMLTRANSFORM).
  • The installation of an MQCONN resource definition with INITQNAME specified (MQINI).
OVERRIDE
From a resource overrides file during installation. The CSD file or the CICSPlex SM EYUDREP data repository are unchanged.
SYSTEM
From CICS or CICSPlex SM system
TABLE
From a table definition
CHANGEAGREL
The level of the CICS system used for the definition of, or last modification to, the resource definition. This is a 4-digit identifier: for example, 0760 is the identifier for CICS TS for z/OS®, beta
CHANGETIME
The time when the resource definition was last modified. When the resource is first defined, the CHANGETIME value is identical to the DEFINETIME value. On CEDA panels, the date is displayed in the format that you specified in the DATFORM system initialization parameter.
CHANGEUSRID
The ID of the user who defined or last modified the resource definition. For the CICSPlex SM BAS resource definitions in the EYUDREP data repository, when CICS security is active the CHANGEUSRID field contains the user ID that made the last modification to the resource definition. When CICS security is not active, the CHANGEUSRID field contains blanks.
INSTALLAGENT
How the resource was installed:
AUTOINSTALL
From autoinstall
BUNDLE
From bundle deployment
CREATESPI
From EXEC CICS CREATE command
CSDAPI
From CEDA, the programmable interface to DFHEDAP, or EXEC CICS CSD command
DYNAMIC
  • A PIPELINE scan (URIMAP or WEBSERVICE).
  • CICS web template management, using DFHWBTL or DFHWBBMS (DOCTEMPLATE).
  • The installation of a DB2ENTRY resource definition with transaction ID specified (DB2TRAN).
  • The installation of an ATOMSERVICE resource definition with XSDBIND specified (XMLTRANSFORM).
  • The installation of an MQCONN resource definition with INITQNAME specified (MQINI).
GRPLIST
From a GRPLIST INSTALL
SYSTEM
From CICS or CICSPlex SM system
TABLE
From a table definition
INSTALLTIME
The time when the resource was installed.
INSTALLUSRID
The ID of the user who installed the resource.

Note:
  1. For the CICSPlex SM BAS resource definitions in the EYUDREP data repository, when CICS security is active the CHANGEUSRID field contains the user ID that made the last modification to the resource definition. When CICS security is not active, the CHANGEUSRID field contains blanks.
  2. If the BUNDLE resource definition is overridden then the CHANGEAGENT for any resource created by the BUNDLE is not inherited but will be set to what it would have been had the BUNDLE not been overridden, e.g. CSDAPI, CSDBATCH e.t.c.
