The Bundle Manifest editor is used to edit CICS® bundle manifest files in CICS Explorer®. Each bundle contains
a manifest file (cics.xml) that describes the
contents of the bundle, for example what resources to create in the CICS region, and the location of
the supporting artifacts.
The Bundle Manifest editor is an Eclipse-based graphical
user interface that contains a Dependencies tab.
This tab lists the CICS resources
that are required by the bundle for the application to run successfully.
These dependencies are declared as <import> elements in the manifest.
You can add, remove, and modify the <import> elements by using
the Dependencies tab. When you save any changes
in the Bundle Manifest editor, any changes you have made in other
editors are overwritten.
Each import in the bundle manifest
has a resource type and a name. You can set the behavior on the import
to determine whether CICS can
enable the BUNDLE resource if the required import is not present in
the CICS region. You can select
one of three options:
- Required - if the import is missing in the CICS region, the BUNDLE
resource cannot be enabled.
- Optional - enable the BUNDLE resource and issue a warning message
if the import is missing.
- Optional - enable the BUNDLE resource and do not issue a warning
message if the import is missing.
The default behavior is that all imports are required.
Imports
The <import> element can contain
the following CICS resource types:
