The bundle manifest schema

If you want to create a manifest to describe the resources in the bundle, the file must conform to the XML schema.

The manifest describes all the resources and metadata that CICS® requires to successfully install the BUNDLE resource. The manifest must be in the META-INF directory of the bundle when it is deployed. If the manifest is not valid XML or does not conform to the schema, CICS cannot install the BUNDLE resource.

The manifest schema is called bundle.xsd and is in the /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts53/schemas/bundle/ directory on z/OS® UNIX.
