The BCM Web API performs operations on Business Continuity Manager
configuration files as follows:
- If you run a CLI command (for example, YKLOAD or YKGETGRP) that loads a configuration file, the configuration file is loaded on the BCM Web API server as a REXX variable structure.
- The loaded REXX variable structure resides on the BCM Web API server until it is deleted by YKDROP or reloaded by YKLOAD.
- You can use YKLISTID to check whether a REXX variable structure has been loaded on the BCM Web API server.
- If you run a CLI command (for example, YKQUERY) that references a REXX variable structure (configuration file), the REXX variable structure is converted to JSON format and returned in the response body.
