REFMODE Column

The REFMODE column controls whether other resources should process this resource when testing their prerequisite or subrequisite references.

Valid values for this column are:

ACTIVE: Both prerequisite and subrequisite references are performed according to the standard method used by SSM.
INACTIVE: Neither prerequisite nor subrequisite references to this resource are evaluated. This is equivalent to the SSM NOPREREQ mode. When REFMODE INACTIVE is combined with PREMODE INACTIVE, this resource is disconnected from all prerequisite and subrequisite processing.
PREREQ: Only prerequisite processing references to this resource are evaluated. Subrequisite references to this resource are ignored.
SUBREQ: Only subrequisite processing references to this resource are evaluated. Prerequisite references to this resource are ignored.
