Installing a LIBRARY resource definition by using CEDA

You install a new or updated LIBRARY resource definition to ensure that the LIBRARY resource is activated in the CICS® region. This procedure shows how to use the CICS CEDA transaction to install a LIBRARY resource definition.

About this task

When you use CEDA to install a resource definition, you can set an initial status of either ENABLED or DISABLED, and the resource is installed in that status.

The following procedure installs the LIBRARY resource definition libname that is defined in the group groupname, and sets the initial resource status to ENABLED.

Procedure

Install the LIBRARY definition by using the following command:

CEDA INSTALL LIBRARY(libname) GROUP(groupname) STATUS(ENABLED)

What to do next

Defining the data sets to the CICS system: When you have successfully installed the LIBRARY resource definition and have also installed any programs, map sets, or other elements that comprise the application in the LIBRARY resource, you can then define the data sets to the CICS system, if you have not already done this.
Enabling a LIBRARY resource definition: If the LIBRARY resource was defined and installed as DISABLED, you can use the EXEC CICS SET LIBRARY or CEMT SET LIBRARY command to change its status to ENABLED.
