CICS management client interface XML

CICS management client interface requests and responses contain information in XML format. The unique XML elements in CMCI are defined in a schema named CICSSystemManagement. This schema is constructed by incorporating a separate schema for each resource type.

Client applications need to access the CICSSystemManagement schema to validate and format the information in the body of responses to CICS management client interface requests. Clients can access the schema that defines this output XML at the following URI: http://hostname:portnumber/CICSSystemManagement/schema/CICSSystemManagement.xsd.

Note: CMCI can interpret only characters that are handled by the EBCDIC 037 code page. Using other characters in CMCI requests leads to unpredictable results.
