Platform states

CICS Explorer shows the state information for a platform. The STATUS setting for a platform is derived from the status of the CICS regions in the region types. This value shows whether the platform is active, partially active, or inactive, depending on whether or not the CICS regions are active. The ENABLESTATUS setting for a platform is derived from the status of the management parts for the CICS bundles that are installed with the platform. This value shows whether the CICS bundles that were installed with the platform are present and enabled in the CICS regions for the platform.

A management part is a MGMTPART record that is created automatically during the platform installation process. Management parts record the relationship between the platform and each installed CICS bundle, and the region type where each CICS bundle is installed in the platform.

Follow the CICS Explorer instructions in Checking the status of a platform in the CICS Explorer product documentation. The tables below show the possible values for the status of the platform and the associated management part.

Table 1. Platform states that reflect the states of the CICS regions associated with the platform
STATUS value	Meaning
ACTIVE	There is at least one active CICS region within every region type associated with the platform.
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. Platform states that reflect the enable status of the platform
ENABLESTATUS value	Meaning
ENABLING	All the management parts for the platform are in the process of being enabled.
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.

Table 3. States for the management parts for the CICS bundles that are installed with the platform
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.
INVALIDSCOPE	The CICS system group specified for installing the CICS bundles does not exist, so no bundles are installed.
EMPTY	The CICS bundle is not installed in any of the CICS regions.
