Add or Edit a Resource other than a Data Set

Global resource serialization identifies each resource by a symbolic name that consists of major and minor name and a serialization scope. For example, a resource might have a symbolic name of APPL01,MASTER,SYSTEM. The MAJOR NAME (qname) is APPL01, the MINOR NAME (rname) is MASTER, and the scope is SYSTEM.

Add or edit the major and minor name for the resource.  Select whether the resource name is specific, generic, or, for major name only, uses pattern wildcard support. Pattern wildcard support lets you

For example, the name SYSTEM* covers SYSTEM1, SYSTEM2, SYSTEMA, SYSTEMAB, SYSTEMA$, or SYSTEMAB1, up to a maximum length of 8 characters for a given major name. The name SYSTEM? covers SYSTEM1, SYSTEM2, SYSTEMA, SYSTEM, or any other valid character that substitutes for ? in a given major name of up to 8 characters. Wildcard support is not valid for minor names.
