Panel and field definitions
- Inplace edit
- If you select this option, the edit session does not
allow you to insert or delete records.
If Inplace edit is not selected for queues, then FM/CICS uses an auxiliary file to allow rewriting of the data.
You must select Inplace edit when using any of the following:- A segmented record type data set (as indicated by your chosen template)
- Record sampling
- A record limit of
MEMORY
- A VSAM data set defined as NOREUSE
- Lock resource
- Causes a CICS enqueue to be issued with the enqueue resource name specified in
the corresponding Name field during the Edit session. The enqueue is issued
on the local system that is running FM/CICS.
When editing TS and TD queues, FM/CICS also issues a CICS enqueue that occurs regardless of the Lock setting. The enqueue is issued on the local system that is running FM/CICS. This prevents concurrent update access against a TS or TD queue by multiple FM/CICS instances on the same system. FM/CICS uses the following naming convention for the internally generated CICS enqueue resource name:
FMLOCK:xxsysidname
where:- xx
- TD or TS.
- sysid
- The ID of the CICS system where the resource resides. A blank value indicates the resource resides on the local system.
- name
- The name of the queue.
- Name
- If the Lock resource field is selected, FM/CICS issues a CICS enqueue with the resource name specified in this field for the duration of the Edit session. FM/CICS issues the CICS enqueue with a resource length of 255 and pads all unused characters with blanks.
- Create audit trail
- Determines if FM/CICS generates an audit report
of all successful modifications to data made during an Edit session.
The display of this option depends on whether SAF-rule controlled auditing is in effect. See "SAF-rule controlled auditing" in the File Manager User’s Guide and Reference for DB2 Data.
The ability to change this option depends on the installation options (in the FMN3POPT macro). The Create audit trail option can be:
- When your system administrator has enforced audit logging, the Create audit trail option in this panel is ignored.
- When your system administrator has not enforced audit logging, you can set this option on or off for any particular editing task. Type a "/" in the option entry field to generate audit reporting for the current Edit session.
For more information about setting the Audit Trail options, refer to the File Manager Customization Guide or see your systems administrator.
