intrapartition – Create and remove the CICS transient data intrapartition data set

Synopsis

  • Create and remove the transient data intrapartition data set used by a CICS® region. This data set holds all the data for intrapartition queues.

  • You can use this module when provisioning or de-provisioning a CICS region.

  • Use the state option to specify the intended state for the transient data intrapartition data set. For example, state=initial will create a transient data intrapartition data set if it doesn’t exist.

Parameters

region_data_sets

The location of the region data sets to be created using a template, for example, REGIONS.ABCD0001.<< data_set_name >>.

If you want to use a data set that already exists, ensure that the data set is a transient data intrapartition data set.

required: True
type: dict
dfhintra

Overrides the templated location for the transient data intrapartition data set.

required: False
type: dict
dsn

The data set name of the transient data intrapartition to override the template.

required: False
type: str
template

The base location of the region data sets with a template.

required: False
type: str
space_primary

The size of the primary space allocated to the transient data intrapartition data set. Note that this is just the value; the unit is specified with space_type.

This option takes effect only when the transient data intrapartition data set is being created. If the data set already exists, the option has no effect.

required: False
type: int
default: 100
space_secondary

The size of the secondary space allocated to the transient data intrapartition data set. Note that this is just the value; the unit is specified with space_type.

This option takes effect only when the transient data intrapartition data set is being created. If the data set already exists, the option has no effect.

required: False
type: int
default: 10
space_type

The unit portion of the transient data intrapartition data set size. Note that this is just the unit; the value is specified with space_primary.

This option takes effect only when the transient data intrapartition data set is being created. If the data set already exists, the option has no effect.

The size can be specified in megabytes (M), kilobytes (K), records (REC), cylinders (CYL), or tracks (TRK).

required: False
type: str
default: REC
choices: M, K, REC, CYL, TRK
state

The intended state for the transient data intrapartition data set, which the module will aim to achieve.

absent will remove the transient data intrapartition data set entirely, if it already exists.

initial will create the transient data intrapartition data set if it does not already exist.

warm will retain an existing transient data intrapartition data set in its current state.

required: True
type: str
choices: initial, absent, warm

Examples

- name: Initialize a transient data intrapartition data set
  ibm.ibm_zos_cics.intrapartition:
    region_data_sets:
      template: "REGIONS.ABCD0001.<< data_set_name >>"
    state: "initial"

- name: Initialize a large transient data intrapartition data set
  ibm.ibm_zos_cics.intrapartition:
    region_data_sets:
      template: "REGIONS.ABCD0001.<< data_set_name >>"
    space_primary: 50
    space_type: "M"
    state: "initial"

- name: Delete a transient data intrapartition data set
  ibm.ibm_zos_cics.intrapartition:
    region_data_sets:
      template: "REGIONS.ABCD0001.<< data_set_name >>"
    state: "absent"
