Resource Definition
1. Resource definitions are descriptions of the types of applications and procedures that are used for individual data actions. Every CICS region has its own set of these resource definitions stored in a data set called the CICS System Definition (CSD).Resource definitions in CSD is hierarchical.
l First, CICS organize related resources into named groups. Resource groups are mandatory in CSD, therefore no resource may be defined without being assigned to a gourp.
l Then, these group of resources are themselves stored in a list that is installed when CICS TS is started
2. Methods of resource definition
l Resource Definition Online (RDO)
RDO uses CICS-supplied transactions (CEDA, CEDB, CEDC), while a CICS region is running and stores the definitions in the CSD file.
CEDA allows users to modify both the active CICS system and the CSD
CEDB allows limited modification of the CSD (all but INSTALL) and read-only commands.
CEDC allows only read-only commands (DISPLAY, EXPAND, VIEW).
l Automatic installation (Autoinstall)
Autoinstall works only with user modifications through a definition model. The utility then dynamically creates new definitions based on the model which can prevent the creation of large numbers of definitions.
l System Programming, through EXEC CICS CREATE command
System Programming, through EXEC CICS CREATE command creates resources that are independent of the CSD.
l DFHCSDUP offline utility
DFHCSDUP offline utility operates like RDO but offline through a batch job.
l Macro definition using assembler macros
Macro definition using assembler macros creates definitions and stores them in assembled tables in a program library. The definitions are installed during CICS initialization.
