Defining CICS Configuration Manager repository records
To define one of the following records in the CICS® Configuration Manager repository:
- CICS configuration
- Migration scheme
- Approval profile
- Transformation rule set
Transformation group
- Go to primary menu option 1 Administer.
- Select the type of record that you want to define.
The list of existing records appears, under these column headings:
- Name
- Record name.
Record names must be 1 - 8 characters (0-9, A-Z, @, $, #, -, and _). Names must be unique within a record type. For example, a CICS configuration can have the same name as a migration scheme, but two CICS configurations cannot have the same name.
Use a consistent naming convention for each type of repository record. For example, here are two possible naming conventions for migration schemes:
- Combine the source and target CICS configurations in abbreviated form. For example, if the migration scheme is for migrating from development to test, name it DEVTTEST.
- Name the migration scheme after the primary target CICS configuration. For example if the migration scheme is for migrating from test to production, name it PROD.
- Prompt
- Last action performed on the record.
- Changed
- Date and time of the last change to the record.
- ID
- ID of the user who performed the last change.
- Description
- Description of the record.
