PROPAGATE function
The PROPAGATE function corresponds to the Confirm Propagation dialog in the TOM UI that is displayed after an edit of a layer object, layer set, system layer or sysplex layer.
The PROPAGATE function propagates layer-object and layer set changes to the corresponding objects or sets that were generated with an ATTACH function.
You can issue this function after changing a layer-object or layer-set with the UI EDIT command or with the TOMEXEC FUNC(CHANGE) request. This function can be used when the attached System Layer or Sysplex Layer has a PROPAGATE=NO attribute.
The following table shows the command and parameters:
Command | Parameters |
|---|---|
TOMEXEC FUNCTION(PROPAGATE) | OBJECT(name)|SET(name) [STEM(LINE)] [TOMID(tom ID) | TOMPLEX(tomplex name)] SYSPLEX(name) | DEFBASE(name) |
The following table describes the parameters:
Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
OBJECT | Specify the layer object name with changes to be propagated. For information about specifying the object name, see Object-and-set-naming-restrictions. |
SET | Specify the layer set name with changes to be propagated. For information about specifying the set name, see Object-and-set-naming-restrictions. |
STEM | Specify the prefix of the REXX stem variables that contain the properties of the item to be deleted. The default REXX stem value is LINE. |
DEFBASE | Specify the object definition base which contains the layer object or layer set specified by the OBJECT or SET parameter. This value is associated with the SYSPLEX keyword value. If it is not specified, the currently active object base is used. |
SYSPLEX | Specify the sysplex associated with the definition base specified by the DEFBASE parameter. If it is not specified, the sysplex of the system where the TOM PAS is running will be used. |
TOMID | Specify the ID of the TOM PAS on which you want the command issued. |
TOMPLEX | Specify the name of the TOMPLEX where you want to issue the function. See Specifying-the-TOMID-and-TOMPLEX-parameters for usage information. |
