Platforms view

The Platforms (PLATFORM) view displays information about the CICS® platforms that are running in a CICSplex. A platform includes information about the location of the platform bundle, its definition, and the home directory for deploying applications.

Right-click a platform to enable, disable, or discard a platform, or view its management parts. Management parts show the relationships between the platform and the CICS bundles that are deployed with it.

The ENABLESTATUS attribute reports the current state of all bundles and their management parts associated with the platform. ENABLESTATUS can have the following values:
  • ENABLED - all associated management parts are enabled.
  • DISABLED - all associated management parts are disabled.
  • INCOMPLETE - one or more associated management parts are empty or have an invalid scope.
  • ENABLING - all associated management parts are in the process of being enabled.
  • DISABLING - all associated management parts are in the process of being disabled.
  • EMPTY - no associated management parts are installed.
  • SOMEDISABLED - one or more of the associated management parts are disabled.
For more information about the status of region types and enable status of management parts, see Checking the status of a platform.
