provider Required Must be filemanager.
file Required The name of the data resource for which the service applies. Examples: MVS.DATASET, /uss/data.dat, FI:APPLID:CICSFILE, TD:APPLID:CICSTDQ, TS:APPLID:CICSTSQ, MQ:QMGR:QNAME

where APPLID represents the application ID of the target CICS region, and QMGR represents the MQ system.

host Required The hostname or IP address of the ADFzCC server (IPVSRV) where the template or copybook resides. The host property is only relevant during SAR creation.
port Required The port number of the ADFzCC server (IPVSRV) where the template or copybook resides. The port property is only relevant during SAR creation.
userid Required A user ID that has read access to the template or copybook on the z/OS system running the IPVSRV server. The userid property is only relevant during SAR creation.
passwd Required A password of the user ID that has read access to the template or copybook on the z/OS® system running the IPVSRV server. The passwd property is only relevant during SAR creation.
