Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Supported environments

The Resource Definition Editor supports definition of CICS® resources in CICS TS 3.1, 3.2, and later systems, with or without CICSPlex® SM.

When CICSPlex System Manager (CPSM) is not installed, the CICS Resource Definition server uses the CICS CREATE SPI command to define and install (and enable) CICS resources. In this case, the CICS system definition is not updated. Therefore, CEDA cannot be used to view the resource definitions. However, CEMT INQUIRE can be used, although it does not display all definition parameters.

CICS resources installed using the CICS CREATE SPI command do not survive a CICS cold start. Normally, CICS is warm-started. If CICS is cold-started these resources can be reinstalled by right-clicking the manifest file and selecting Deploy CICS Resources > Re-install all manifest resources.

When CPSM is installed, the CPSM Business Application Services (BAS) interface is used to define and install CICS resources. In this case, the CICS system definition is not updated. Therefore, CEDA cannot be used to view the resource definitions. However, both the CEMT INQUIRE and the CPSM BAS interface can be used to view CICS resources. The CPSM BAS interface will list all definition parameters.

CICS resources installed using CPSM BAS update the CPSM repository and do survive a CICS cold start.
