UPDATE
Update an existing CICSPlex® SM or CICS® definition.
Description
- The updated definition replaces the existing definition in the CICSPlex SM data repository.
- For definitions that have a CICSplex as their context (such as workload management or real-time analysis definitions), the definition is also updated in the data repositories of all CMASs involved in managing the CICSplex.

Options
- CONTEXT(data-value)
- Identifies the context for this command. The context must be the
1- to 8-character name of a CMAS or CICSplex.
If you do not specify the CONTEXT option, the default context for the thread is assumed.
- FROM(data-area)
- Identifies a buffer containing a resource table record that represents
the definition to be updated.
The record must include all of the attributes for the resource table specified on the OBJECT option. For optional attributes that you do not want to specify, set the field to null (that is, zero) values .
- LENGTH(data-value)
- A fullword value that specifies the length of the FROM or MODIFY
buffer. Note: The buffer length you specify should not include any data other than a resource table record or modification expression.
- MODIFY(data-area)
- Identifies a buffer containing the modification expression to
be used in modifying CICS Definition resource table records.
For details on how to form a modification expression, see Developing CICSPlex SM applications.
- OBJECT(data-value)
- Identifies the resource table that represents the definition being updated. This value must be the 8-character name of a valid CPSM Definition or CICS Definition resource table. For a list of the CICSPlex SM resource tables by type, see Developing CICSPlex SM applications.
- PARM(data-area)
- Identifies a buffer containing a parameter expression to
be used in updating the definition.
For details on how to use a parameter expression with the UPDATE command, see Developing CICSPlex SM applications. For a description of the parameters that are valid for a given resource table, see the CICSPlex SM resource tables.
- PARMLEN(data-value)
- A fullword value that specifies the length of the PARM buffer.
- REASON(data-ref)
- Names a variable to receive the fullword reason value returned by this command.
- RESPONSE(data-ref)
- Names a variable to receive the fullword response value returned by this command.
- RESULT(cpsm-token)
- Identifies the API result set to be processed by this operation.
The result set must contain CICS Definition resource table records.
The records are updated according to the modification expression you
supply in the MODIFY buffer. The result set can be one produced by any of these commands:
- COPY
- GET
- GROUP
- PERFORM OBJECT.
- SCOPE(data-value)
- Identifies the scope for this command.
If the current context (as set by this command or a previous CONNECT or QUALIFY command) is a CICSplex and the OBJECT option identifies a CICS definitional resource and the PARM option includes the CSD parameter, a valid scope can be specified.
The scope can be a CICS system within the CICSplex. If the current context is a CMAS or the OBJECT option identifies any other type of resource table, or the CSD parameter is not specified on a CICS definitional resource, this option has no meaning and is ignored.
If SCOPE applies to the command and you do not specify the SCOPE option, the default scope for the thread is assumed. If the current context is a CICSplex and no default scope has been set on a CONNECT or QUALIFY command, you receive an INVALIDPARM response for the SCOPE option.
- THREAD(cpsm-token)
- Identifies the API thread to be used for this operation. The cpsm-token value that identifies a thread is returned by the CONNECT command.
Conditions

- NOTPROCESSED
- For CSD requests only, one of the MASs to which the request was directed could not process the request.
- REQTIMEOUT
- One of the CMASs or MASs to which the request was directed did not respond.
- SOCRESOURCE
- A required resource that is owned by the CMAS is not available.
- FAILED
- The command failed for one of the following reasons:
- ABENDED
- Command processing abended.
- EXCEPTION
- Command processing encountered an exceptional condition.
- INVALIDATA
- An invalid data error occurred for one of the following reasons:
- MODIFY
- An attribute value listed in the MODIFY buffer is not valid for the specified attribute.
- NOTSUPPORTED
- An attribute listed in the MODIFY buffer is not modifiable.
- INVALIDCMD
- The command is invalid for the following reason:
- LENGTH
- The total length of all the options on the command exceeds the maximum limit.
- INVALIDPARM
- An invalid parameter was detected. The parameter that is invalid
is returned as the reason value:
- CONTEXT
- FROM
- LENGTH
- MODIFY
- OBJECT
- PARM
- PARMLEN
- RESULT
- THREAD.
- NOTAVAILABLE
- A not available condition occurred for one of the following reasons:
- APITASK
- The API control subtask is not active.
- CMAS
- A CMAS to which the request was directed is not available.
- CPSMAPI
- The CMAS to which the processing thread is connected is not available for API processing.
- CSDAPI
- Support for the CICSPlex SM API to access the CICS CSD is not available.
- MAINTPOINT

- The CMAS to which the processing thread was connected is no longer active.
- TABLEERROR
- A resource table record is invalid for one of the following reasons:
- DATAERROR
- The value associated with one or more resource table attributes
is invalid. This error can occur if:
- The resource table is missing required attributes, contains one or more conflicting attributes, or does not exist.
- A CICS resource definition contains attributes that would cause the EXEC CICS CREATE command to issue warnings.
- INVALIDATTR
- One of the resource table attributes is invalid.
- INVALIDVER
- The specified version of the resource table is not supported by CICSPlex SM.
- VERSIONINVL
- A version conflict occurred for one of the following reasons:
- NOTSUPPORTED
- The version of the application stub program used for this command is not supported.
- NOTVSNCONN
