CICS Resource Definition Changes Report resource view: layout and example
The resource view of the CICS® Resource Definition Changes Report consists of two parts:
- Report options
- Lists the CONNECT, REPORT, and any CRITERIASET batch commands that generated this report. This includes any default parameter values not explicitly specified in the input control cards.
- List of changed resource definitions
- Lists changed resource definitions that match the criteria specified
by CRITERIASET.
If you request the attribute level of detail, the list expands the changed resource definitions to show changed attributes.
The following figure shows the layout of the resource view of the CICS Resource Definition Changes Report.

Figure 2. CICS Resource
Definition Changes Report:
example of the resource view
The resource view contains the following columns:
- Name
- Resource definition name.
- Type
- Resource definition type. This column uses the resource type naming convention for CSD files, regardless of where the resource definition is stored. For example, for a program resource definition, this column shows PROGRAM, not PROGDEF, even for a resource definition stored in a CICSPlex® SM data repository. For a cross-reference between resource type naming conventions, see Table 1.
- Group
- Group or ResGroup to which the resource definition belongs.
- Config
- CICS configuration where the resource definition is stored.
- Date
- Date and time of the change to the resource definition, in the
format:
yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm
- User
- ID of the user who invoked the API command.
- API Command
- Name of the API command that caused the change.
- Func
- The function that the API command performed on the resource definition: Cre(ate), Upd(ate), or Del(ete).
- Package
- For API commands that process change packages (such as Migrate): the change package that the resource definition belonged to. For other API commands, this column is blank.
- CSD File or Context Name
- Data set name of the CSD file or name of the CICSPlex SM context where the resource definition is stored, as per the CICS configuration shown in the Config column.
