Auditing resources

The resource signature, the combination of the definition and the installation signatures, can be used to audit and manage resources by capturing details when the resource is defined, installed, and last changed.

Being able to display information about when the resource was defined, installed, and last changed helps with problem determination. The details improve the auditing and tracing of resources and can be displayed in the CICS Explorer® views, CICSPlex® SM views, CEDA panels, using EXEC CICS INQUIRE SPI commands and CEMT INQUIRE commands. The following resource types support the resource signature:
  • ATOMSERVICE
  • BUNDLE
  • CONNECTION
  • DB2CONN
