Use the Affinity Build view to view and edit the contents of a CICSPlex® SM Workload Manager (WLM) transaction group file. This file contains combined affinity transaction groups that are suitable for input to CICSPlex SM. You can also specify the deployment parameters, modify the CICSPlex SM input, review the JCL job, and deploy the transaction group definitions to CICSPlex SM.
When you build a CICSPlex SM WLM transaction group file, it is displayed in the Affinity Build view. See Building a CICSPlex SM Workload Manager transaction group file.
To view an existing CICSPlex SM WLM transaction group file, start from the Report Explorer view. Either double-click the file name, or right-click the file name, then click Open report.
The Overview tab shows the options specified for the builder and lists the combined affinity transaction groups that were created. You can expand each transaction group to show the group parameters, the transactions in the group, and which transaction groups were merged to create that group.
The CPSM Input tab shows the transaction group definitions that can be built into files that can be deployed to CICSPlex SM. You can use this tab to specify parameters for the CICSPlex SM deployment job and modify the input to CICSPlex SM.
The Deployment JCL tab shows the JCL job to submit to the z/OS system to either check the transaction group definitions or deploy them to the specified CMAS. The generated JCL uses the default values that are set in the CPSM Deployment preferences in the Preferences window, and the deployment parameters that you set on the CPSM input tab. See Deploying transaction group definitions to CICSPlex SM.
You can use the facilities of the JCL editor to view and edit this JCL. See Editing data sets.
Any change to a deployment parameter in the JCL that is on the CPSM Input tab is updated in the corresponding field on the CPSM Input tab. Similarly, any change to a deployment parameter on the CPSM Input tab is updated in the corresponding JCL on the Deployment JCL tab.
When the deployment JCL includes the CHECK statement, submit the JCL to the z/OS system to check the transaction group definitions.
