CICS bundle project schemas

CICS® supplies a schema that describes the XML file that is required for a policy bundle.

A policy is an XML file that is parsed by CICS to define and install a policy in CICS. Typically, policies are created by using CICS Explorer®, but the schema is also supplied to help vendors create valid policy files.

The policy schema is supplied in the /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts52/schemas directory, along with schemas for CICS management bundle parts:
