Event processing schema versions
Event processing schema versions are used to provide the greatest compatibility with your systems.
CICSEPSchemaRelease="0" CICSEPSchemaVersion="2"
If a CICS® release includes a new policy schema, the schema version number is incremented at that release. If the IBM® service organization introduces a new policy schema, the schema release number is incremented. You can display the highest supported schema level by entering the CEMT INQUIRE EVENTPROCESS command.
The Event binding editor keeps your schema at the lowest level possible to provide the greatest compatibility with systems that might not support later schema versions. The Event binding editor sets the version and release numbers in the evbind file to the minimum level for the options that you choose. If the event binding file is using a later schema version than the schema version supported by CICS, the installation of the event binding file fails. If a feature is not listed in Table 1, it is a base feature with a minimum schema level of 1.0.
