Structure definition information

The structure definition information section represents an entry for each WLM structure that is supported by the Coupling Facility Manager. The following appears under this header:

Structure
Defines the structure name. The following structure names are supported by the Coupling Facility Manager:
  • SYSZWLM_WORKUNIT (legacy product)
  • SYSZWLM_xxxxxxxx (z/OS® Release 1 or later)
Type
Defines the type of structure. The type can be:
  • CACHE
  • LIST (legacy only)
Connect/Disconnect Flags
Defines connect (IXLCONN) and disconnect (IXLDISC) indicators that are used as footprints to indicate what was done by connect or disconnect processing:
  • Connected
  • Connect Failed
  • Disconnected
  • Disconnect Failed

Note that the CONTOKEN field in the structure definition of the DETAIL report defines if a structure is really connected or not. These indicators exist to show what IWMC3CST or IWMC3DST may have done during connect processing. For example, if it connected correctly and then disconnected (due to some IWMC3CST validation problem) and the disconnect failed then the Disconnect Failed indicator is set. The CONTOKEN field in the structure definition will show a CONTOKEN of zero indicating that it is disconnected.
