You can use the CICS® Configuration Manager ISPF
dialog to check the consistency of the following sets of resource
definitions:
- A single list or a single group in a CSD file, by entering the
line action CHK next to that group
or list.
- A mix of lists and groups in a single CSD file, by selecting primary
menu option 4.9 Check Analysis.
These checks generate the following messages:
- Duplicate candidates
- Report resource definitions that are defined multiple times, and
assess the eligibility of each duplicate for installation. A resource
definition can be ineligible due to a combination of referential integrity
errors (described below) and sequence order (only the first or the
last duplicate is eligible, depending on the resource type).
- Referential integrity (RI)
- Report resource definitions whose installation will be affected
by interdependency or conflict conditions with other resource definitions.
There are two condition severities:
- Errors
- Cause CICS to issue an
error message at CICS start
time. The resource definition will not be installed.
- Warnings
- Cause CICS to issue a warning
message at CICS start time.
The resource definition might be installed, but the condition might
render the resource unusable.
These checks are a superset of the consistency checks performed
by the CICS CEDA CHECK command.
You can also perform these checks in a batch report, by requesting
a deployment analysis check report. In addition to checking resource
definitions in CSD files, the batch report also enables you to check
resource definitions in CICSPlex® SM
data repositories. For details, see Deployment analysis of resource definitions.
To check the consistency of a single list or group in a CSD file:
- Expand the corresponding CICS configuration
to show its lists or groups. For details, see Exploring CICS configurations.
- Enter CHK next to the list or
group that you want to check.
- Choose the type of check messages that you want to view.
To check the consistency of a mix of lists and groups in a CSD
file:
- Select primary menu option 4.9 Check Analysis.
This displays
a selection list panel of CICS configurations.
- Select the CICS configuration
for the CSD file.
- Specify the sequence of lists and groups that you want to check.
To
add items to the sequence:
- Move the cursor to the Name column, and then press the Prompt key
(F4).
This displays
a pop-up window of lists and groups in the selected CICS configuration.
- Enter S next to one or more groups
and lists.
Tip: Entering S next to a list adds the entire list
to the sequence as a single item. To add each group in the list as
a separate item, enter SX next to
the list. This enables you to re-order or remove individual groups
in the sequence, rather than using the groups exactly as defined in
the list.
- Press the Exit key
(F3).
For more information on arranging the sequence of lists and
groups, see the online help.
- When you have finished specifying the sequence of lists and groups,
enter RUN on the command line.
- Choose the type of check messages that you want to view.
For information on viewing the check messages, see the online help.
Tip: To omit a check message and all
similar messages from the display, enter OXX next
to the message. For example, to omit all messages for undefined/uninstalled
LSRPOOL ID 1, enter OXX next to one
of these messages.
