Defining resources

After you have installed CICS®, you must define and install all the resources that your CICS regions require to run user transactions.

For a list of resources see RDO resources.

Resource definition online (RDO) transaction CEDA
Use the CEDA transaction to add, remove, or change resource definitions online.
The resource definition batch utility DFHCSDUP
The CICS system definition utility program, DFHCSDUP, is a component of resource definition online (RDO). DFHCSDUP is an offline utility program that allows you to read from and write to a CICS system definition (CSD) file, either while CICS is running or while it is inactive.
Autoinstall
Autoinstall is a method of creating and installing CICS resources dynamically as they are required. You can use autoinstall for SNA LUs, MVS consoles, APPC connections, IPIC connections, programs, map sets, partition sets, and journals.
Macro resource definition
Reference information for resource definition macros used to create CICS tables.
Defining CICS bundles
A CICS bundle is a directory that contains artifacts and a manifest that describes the bundle and its dependencies. CICS bundles provide a way of grouping and managing related resources. CICS bundles also provide versioning for the management of resource updates, and can declare dependencies on other resources outside the bundle. Application developers can use CICS bundles for application packaging and deployment, business events, and services. System programmers can use CICS bundles for system events and policies.
Defining terminal resources
You can define terminal resources in two different ways, depending on the type of terminal access method that you want to use.
Resource definition installation
When a resource definition is installed, information about the resources is used to construct the data structures that represent the resource in the CICS address space.
