The INSTALLAGENT, INSTALLTIME, INSTALLUSRID, and BASDEFINEVER attributes

Attribute fields, INSTALLAGENT, INSTALLTIME, INSTALLUSRID, and BASDEFINEVER are in the CICSPlex® SM Operations resource tables for a number of resource types. The combined INSTALLAGENT, INSTALLTIME, and INSTALLUSRID fields form the installation signature for a resource. The installation signature shows how, when, and by whom each resource is installed.

Being able to display information about when the resource was installed helps with problem determination and the details improve the auditing and tracing of resources.

INSTALLAGENT displays how the resource was installed, INSTALLTIME is the time when the resource was installed and INSTALLUSRID is the ID of the user who installed the resource. For further details see Summary of the resource signature field values.

The Operations base tables that support the installation signature are: ATOMSERV, BUNDLE, CONNECT, DB2CONN, DB2ENTRY, DB2TRN, DOCTEMP, EJCOSE, EJDJAR, ENQMODEL, EXTRATDQ, INDTDQ, INTRATDQ, IPCONN, JRNLMODL, LIBRARY, LOCFILE, LOCTRAN, PIPELINE, PROCTYP, PROFILE, PROGRAM, REMFILE, REMTDQ, REMTRAN, RQMODEL, TCPIPS, TRANCLAS, TSMODEL, URIMAP, and WEBSERV.

To display the installation signature using the CICSPlex SM DETAILED view, a Resource signature local link is provided at the end of the display that links to a separate view showing the resource signature attributes for the resource.

The BASDEFINEVER attribute in an Operations resource table shows the value of the BAS resource definition version that is installed. Use the BASDEFINEVER attribute in CICSPlex SM API requests to identify the BAS resource definition used to install a resource. The attribute is a binary halfword that contains the nn portion of the DEFINESOURCE CPSMnn string for resources with a CHANGEAGENT value of DREPAPI.

The INSTALLAGENT, INSTALLTIME, INSTALLUSRID, and BASDEFINEVER attributes are maintained internally by CICSPlex SM; do not attempt to modify these attribute values.
