cmci_delete – Delete CICS and CICSPlex SM resources

Synopsis

  • Remove or discard definitional or installed CICS® and CICSPlex® SM resources from CICS regions, by initiating DELETE requests via the CMCI REST API. The CMCI REST API can be configured in CICSPlex SM or stand-alone regions (SMSS). For information about the API, see CMCI REST API. For information about how to compose DELETE requests, see CMCI DELETE requests.

Parameters

cmci_cert

Location of the PEM-formatted certificate chain file to be used for HTTPS client authentication.

Can also be specified using the environment variable CMCI_CERT.

Required if cmci_key is specified.

Authentication prioritises certificate authentication if cmci_cert and cmci_key are provided, then basic authentication if cmci_user and cmci_password are provided, and then unauthenticated if none is provided.

required: False
type: str
cmci_host

The TCP/IP host name of CMCI connection.

required: True
type: str
cmci_key

Location of the PEM-formatted file storing your private key to be used for HTTPS client authentication.

Can also be specified using the environment variable CMCI_KEY.

Required if cmci_cert is specified.

Authentication prioritises certificate authentication if cmci_cert and cmci_key are provided, then basic authentication if cmci_user and cmci_password are provided, and then unauthenticated if none is provided.

required: False
type: str
cmci_password

The password of cmci_user to pass HTTP basic authentication.

Can also be specified using the environment variable CMCI_PASSWORD.

Required if cmci_user is specified.

Authentication prioritises certificate authentication if cmci_cert and cmci_key are provided, then basic authentication if cmci_user and cmci_password are provided, and then unauthenticated if none is provided.

required: false
type: str
cmci_port

The port number of the CMCI connection.

required: True
type: int
cmci_user

The user ID under which the CMCI request will run.

Can also be specified using the environment variable CMCI_USER.

Required if cmci_password is specified.

Authentication prioritises certificate authentication if cmci_cert and cmci_key are provided, then basic authentication if cmci_user and cmci_password are provided, and then unauthenticated if none is provided.

required: false
type: str
context

If CMCI is installed in a CICSPlex® SM environment, context is the name of the CICSplex or CMAS associated with the request, for example, PLEX1. To determine whether a CMAS can be specified as context, see the CMAS context entry in the CICSPlex SM resource table reference of a resource. For example, according to the PROGRAM resource table, CMAS context is not supported for PROGRAM.

If CMCI is installed in a single region (SMSS), context is the APPLID of the CICS region associate with the request.

The value of context must contain no spaces. context is not case-sensitive.

required: True
type: str
insecure

When set to true, disables SSL certificate trust chain verification when using HTTPS.

required: False
type: bool
resources

Options that specify a target resource.

required: False
type: dict
complex_filter

A dictionary representing a complex filter expression. Complex filters are composed of filter expressions, represented as dictionaries. Each dictionary can specify either an attribute expression, a list of filter expressions to be composed with the and operator, or a list of filter expressions to be composed with the or operator.

The attribute, and and or options are mutually exclusive with each other.

Can contain one or more filters. Multiple filters must be combined using and or or logical operators.

Filters can be nested.

When supplying the attribute option, you must also supply a value for the filter. You can also override the default operator of = with the operator option.

For examples, see “Examples” in ibm.ibm_zos_cics.cmci_get.

required: False
type: dict
and

A list of filter expressions to be combined with an and operation.

Filter expressions are nested complex_filter elements. Each nested filter expression can be either an attribute, and or or complex filter expression.

required: False
type: list
attribute

The name of a resource table attribute on which to filter.

For supported attributes of different resource types, see their resource table reference, for example, PROGDEF resource table reference.

required: False
type: str
operator

These operators are accepted: < or LT (less than), <= or LE (less than or equal to), = or EQ (equal to), > or GT (greater than), >= or GE (greater than or equal to), == or IS (is), ¬=, !=, or NE (not equal to). If not supplied when attribute is used, EQ is assumed.

required: False
type: str
choices: <, >, <=, >=, =, ==, !=, ¬=, EQ, GT, GE, LT, LE, NE, IS
or

A list of filter expressions to be combined with an or operation.

Filter expressions are nested complex_filter elements. Each nested filter expression can be either an attribute, and or or complex filter expression.

required: False
type: list
value

The value by which you are to filter the resource attributes.

The value must be a valid one for the resource table attribute as documented in the resource table reference, for example, PROGDEF resource table reference.

required: False
type: str
filter

A dictionary with attribute names as keys, and target values, to be used as criteria to filter the set of resources returned from CICSPlex SM.

Filters implicitly use the = operator.

Filters for string type attributes can use the * and + wildcard operators.

* is a wildcard representing an unknown number of characters, and must appear at the end of the value.

+ is a wildcard representing a single character, and can appear in any place in the value, potentially multiple times.

To use more complicated filter expressions, including a range of different filter operators, and the ability to compose filters with and and or operators, see the complex_filter parameter.

For more details, see How to build a filter expression.

For examples, see ibm.ibm_zos_cics.cmci_get.

For supported attributes of different resource types, see their resource table reference, for example, PROGDEF resource table reference.

required: False
type: dict
get_parameters

A list of one or more parameters with optional values used to identify the resources for this request. Eligible parameters for identifying the target resources can be found in the resource table reference for the target resource type, as valid parameters for the GET operation in the “Valid CPSM operations” table. For example, the valid parameters for identifying a PROGDEF resource are CICSSYS, CSDGROUP and RESGROUP, as found in the PROGDEF resource table reference.

required: False
type: list
name

Parameter name available for the GET operation.

required: True
type: str
value

Parameter value if any.

required: False
type: str
scheme

required: false
type: str
default: https
choices: http, https
scope

Specifies the name of a CICSplex, CICS region group, CICS region, or logical scope that is associated with the query.

scope is a subset of context and limits the request to particular CICS systems or resources.

scope is optional. If it’s not specified, the request is limited by the value of context alone.

The value of scope must contain no spaces. scope is not case-sensitive.

required: false
type: str
timeout

HTTP request timeout in seconds

required: False
type: int
default: 30
type

The CMCI external resource name that maps to the target CICS or CICSPlex SM resource type. For a list of CMCI external resource names, see CMCI resource names.

required: True
type: str
