Data interface command reference

There are seven data interface commands.

Table 1. Overview of the data interface commands
Command Description

DATA/CONNECT

DATA/DISCONNECT

You use these commands to establish a connection with a Web User Interface server, and then terminate the connection when it is no longer needed.

DATA/GET

DATA/FETCH

DATA/DISCARD

DATA/GETDEF

You use these commands to obtain information about the resources managed by CICSPlex® SM. These commands enable a client application: (1) to request the creation (GET) of a result set of records matching a particular query; (2) to download pages of records (FETCH) from the result set; and (3) to release (DISCARD) the result set when the application has finished with it. The DATA/GETDEF command is similar to the DATA/GET command except that it retrieves CICSPlex SM metadata.

DATA/PASSTICKET

You use this command to obtain a PassTicket, which you need to enable the client application to launch a Web browser window that connects to the same CICSPlex SM Web User Interface server as the client application.
