Filtering by resource definition similarities (Show)

To filter a list panel of resource definitions based on whether the resource definitions share the same name and resource type, or some other combination of attribute values, as other resource definitions, use the Show action bar choice (only available on some list panels):

Show OFF
Switches off the Show filter.
Show DUPLICATE NAMES
Shows resource definitions that have the same name and resource type as one or more other resource definitions. This excludes resource definitions that have a unique combination of name and resource type.
Show DUPLICATE CHECKSUMS
Shows resource definitions that have the same checksum value as one or more other resource definitions. This excludes resource definitions that have a unique combination of checksum value and resource type.
Show UNIQUE NAMES
Shows resource definitions that have a unique combination of name and resource type. This excludes resource definitions that have the same name and resource type as one or more other resource definitions.
Show UNIQUE CHECKSUMS
Shows resource definitions that have a unique checksum value. This excludes resource definitions that have the same checksum value as one or more other resource definitions of the same resource type.
Show DIFFERENT CHECKSUMS (option 4.1 Multiple Configs only)
Shows sets of resource definitions that have the same name and resource type, but where one or more resource definitions in the set has a different checksum value to the others in the set. Excludes sets of resource definitions of the same name and resource type, where all resource definitions in the set have identical checksum values. Use this option to find resource definitions, across CICSĀ® configurations, that have different checksum values.
Tips:
  1. To keep the report simple, enter a specific value for the Type filter field, limiting the display to a single resource type.
  2. If you decide not to enter a specific value in the Type filter field, then enter the command SORT TYPE NAME to sort the list panel. This will group together, within each resource type, resource definitions that share the same name.

    If you enter a specific Type filter field value, sort by the Name column.

  3. The type of checksum in use determines how the checksum values are calculated. For details, see Comparing a list panel of objects with a checksum column.
Show MISSING NAMES (option 4.1 Multiple Configs only)
Shows sets of resource definitions that have the same name and resource type, but where one or more of the selected CICS configurations does not contain a resource definition of that name and resource type. Use this option to identify missing resource definitions across CICS configurations that should contain the same set of resource definitions.

Show filtering occurs after applying all other filters, such as the CICS configuration you selected on your way to the list panel, and any filter field values or search criteria that you have set on the list panel. For example, Show DUPLICATE NAMES only shows resource definitions where two or more have the same combination of name and resource type within the set defined by the other filters. Consider the following situation:

  1. Suppose that you are viewing a list panel of resource definitions that shows a transaction named TRNA in three groups: PAYROLL1, PAYROLL2, and ACCOUNTS.
  2. You enter PAY* in the Group filter field. This filters out resource definitions in the ACCOUNT group.
  3. You select Show DUPLICATE NAMES.

    The list panel shows TRNA in the groups PAYROLL1 and PAYROLL2, but not in ACCOUNTS.

  4. You enter ACC* in the Group filter field.

    The list panel excludes TRNA entirely, because there are no duplicates within the set defined by the filters.

The Show action bar choices match the options of the corresponding SHOW primary command. Entering SHOW DUPLICATE NAMES on the command line is equivalent to selecting that action bar choice.
