Management of CICS Resource Operations › CICS Files › File Templates

File Templates

Templates are provided to help you define CICS BDAM and VSAM file resources in the knowledge base. The templates contain the following information to help you manage a file:

• CICSCMD cics_region_name SET FILE(file_name) ENA command that enables the file when the resource is activated
• CICSCMD cics_region_name SET FILE(file_name) DIS command that disables the file when the resource is inactivated
• CICSCMD cics_region_name INQ FILE(file_name) command that inquires about the status of the file
• File error messages that change the actual state of the resource to indicate a problem—you can include a process that takes certain actions when an error occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application)
