CICSplex Application Bundle Detail attribute group

The CICSplex Application Bundle Detail attribute group provides details about a CICS application bundle that is used for deployment of the application into CICS. You can create resources for your applications by defining each resource individually in a CICS region. Alternatively, you can deploy an application as a bundle and use this resource to create some of these resources dynamically for you. The bundle resource represents the application, so you can also manage its availability in CICS by enabling and disabling the bundle resource.

Base Scope The universal resource identifier (URI) that defines the root namespace where the contents of the bundle are created. This identifier is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 255 characters. A scope value is used when you want to logically group different bundles together.

Bundle Directory The name of the root directory for the resource bundle. This fully qualified name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 255 characters.

Bundle Name The name of the application bundle that is used for deployment of the application into CICS. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters.

Bundle Status The current status of the resource bundle used for deployment. These are the valid values:

  • ENABLED 1
  • DISABLED 2
  • ENABLING 3
  • DISABLING 4
  • DISCARDING 5

CICS Region Name The job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case-sensitive. The CICS region names are always uppercase characters.

Origin Node The combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.

When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.

System ID The four-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case-sensitive. The z/OS System IDs are always uppercase characters.
