Deleting a CICS resource table view

You can delete a CICS® resource table view from the workbench and remove the corresponding option from the Operations or Definitions menu, as appropriate.

About this task

You can delete a CICS resource table that you do not require in the workbench.

When you delete a view, any configuration settings such as columns, filters, and sorting are also deleted.

To return to the CICS Explorer® default configuration for a view, you can delete the view, then create a view for that resource type. The new view is set to the CICS Explorer settings for that resource type.

  3. In the CICS View Configurations pane, click the view that you want to delete then click Delete.

    To find the required view, you can expand the categories, or type one or more characters of the view name in the filter field.

  4. In the confirmation dialog, click OK. The view is removed from the list in the CICS View Configurations pane.
  5. In the Preferences window, click OK. The view is deleted from the workbench and from the Operations or Definitions menu in the main menu for the workbench, as appropriate.
