Checking the status of a platform

The status information for a platform shows whether the platform is active, and whether the CICS® bundles for the platform are present and enabled in the CICS regions for the platform.

1. In the CICS Explorer® menu bar, click Operations > Cloud Explorer to display the Cloud Explorer view, and switch to the platform hierarchy. The view shows a hierarchy of platforms, applications, and region types, and their overall status. The platform is enabled if there is at least one active CICS region in every region type, and the CICS bundles referenced by the management parts for the platform are installed in the CICS regions.
2. In the Cloud Explorer view, expand the region types for the platform, then expand the Regions list for each region type to view the CICS regions and their status. The view shows whether each CICS region is active or inactive. Double-click on a CICS region to display and work with the region in the Managed Regions view.
3. View the management parts and check on the status of each individual CICS bundle that is deployed . In the Cloud Explorer view, expand the region types for the platform, then expand the Bundles list for each region type, which displays the management parts for the CICS bundles installed with the platform. The status for each management part shows whether the CICS bundle is in an enabled or disabled state in the CICS regions, or if the CICS bundle has not been installed properly.

PARTIAL	At least one but not all region types have no active CICS regions or regions that are able to manage platform resources.
INACTIVE	All region types have no active CICS regions that support the PLATFORM object.

Table 2 shows the possible values for the enable status of the platform, and their meanings:

Table 2. Platform enable status values

Status value	Meaning

ENABLED	All the management parts for the platform are enabled.
DISABLING	All the management parts for the platform are in the process of being disabled.
DISABLED	All the management parts for the platform are disabled.
SOMEDISABLED	Some of the management parts for the platform are disabled.
INSTALLING	The platform is being installed, and it cannot be enabled or disabled at this time.
DISCARDING	The platform is being discarded, and it cannot be enabled or disabled at this time.
FAILED	A problem occurred during install or discard of the platform.
INCOMPLETE	Some of the management parts for the platform are empty or have an invalid scope.

Table 3 shows the possible values for the status of a management part, and their meanings:

Table 3. Management part status values

Status value	Meaning
ENABLING	The CICS bundle is in the process of being enabled.
ENABLED	The CICS bundle is installed and enabled in all of the active CICS regions.
DISABLING	The CICS bundle is in the process of being disabled.
DISABLED	The CICS bundle is disabled in all of the CICS regions.
SOMEDISABLED	The CICS bundle is disabled in some of the CICS regions.
IMPORTONLY	The CICS bundle is installed and enabled in all of the CICS regions, but it only contains import statements, so does not affect the status of the platform.
INCOMPLETE	The CICS bundle is installed in some, but not all, of the CICS regions.
