If you want to share the CSD between CICS® regions at different release levels,
to enable you to share common resource definitions, you must update the CSD
from the higher level region - CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 5 Release 2.
About this task
In CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 5 Release 2,
some attributes are obsolete, and are removed from the CSD definitions.
Procedure
- Use the ALTER command on definitions that specify
obsolete attributes.
This does not cause the loss of these attributes
in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 5 Release 2,
so you can safely update resource definitions from a CICS TS for z/OS, Version 5.2 region.
- If you are sharing the CSD between a CICS TS for z/OS, Version 5.2 region
and a region at an earlier release of CICS, you can use the CICS TS for z/OS, Version 5.2 CSD
utility, DFHCSDUP, to update resources that specify obsolete attributes.
- Specify if you want to use the compatibility option. Use the PARM parameter
on the EXEC PGM=DFHCSDUP statement, using the option COMPAT.
The
default is NOCOMPAT, which means that you cannot update obsolete attributes.
(See
Figure 1.)
- You cannot use the EXTRACT command of the
DFHCSDUP utility in this release when the COMPAT option is specified.
