What's new in V2.1.0.9

Enhancements to CICS® CM V2.1.0.9 plug-in..

New Function Description
Statistics

You can now access statistics from CICS systems that are running version 4.2.

Resource definition types

Two resource definition types have been updated at version 4.2, File (FILEDEF) and LSRPOOL (LSRDEF) definitions. Before 4.2, these definition types had an attribute called LSRPOOLID that had a range of 1-8. For 4.2, another attribute has been added, LSRPOOLNUM, that has the range 1-255. In ExplorerSM/CPSM, only one of these attributes is surfaced in the UI, and that the correct value range is applied. It is valid for a CM installation on CICS4.2 to also manage CICS4.1/3.2 regions, so definitions managed by CM have to have the correct value, so that when these definitions are installed to an earlier CICS version, LSRPOOLID is used, and when they are installed to a 4.2 CICS region, LSRPOOLNUM can be used. When using CM on the Explorer, and editing a definition, you must use the same editor field to update these two attributes. When a value in the range 1-8 is set, CM sets that value on both LSRPOOLID and LSRPOOLNUM attributes for the definition. When a value in the range 9-255 is set, only the LSRPOOLNUM attribute will be set to that value. The value shown in the CICS Explorer® editor UI will always display the LSRPOOLNUM value when connected to a CICS 4.2 system, and the LSRPOOLID when connected to a CICS 4.1 or older system.

Copy and paste

You can now copy multiple definitions using the multiple select option in the resources views. You can paste multiple definitions to a CSD configuration group and a BAS configuration group.
