Viewing related BAS resources in the Map view
The BAS Map view shows related Business Application Services (BAS) resources in a CICSplex, making it easier to understand the complex relationships between BAS resources, and giving an insight into how these definitions will be installed.
To use Map view for WLM resources, see Viewing related WLM resources in the Workload Map view. For more information about BAS, see Administering BAS.

Example Map view for BAS resources

- Resource assignment
- Information about some attributes, such as the resource type, filter, and override that are
specified in the resource assignment, is shown beside the resource assignment name. These attributes
affect what resources will be deployed and how they will be installed.
In the example, the resource assignment ASGNBAS2 will select only program definitions whose name is JOE from the resource group BASGRP1 to be installed. An override string will also be applied, renaming installed resources to JOE2.
- Resource Groups
- The resource group from which resources will be selected.
- Target Scope
- For a given resource, the CICS® system or system group where the resource will be installed.
- Related Scope
- For a given resource that is identified as REMOTE to the target scope, the CICS system or system group where the resource will be installed.
- Used by Resource Descriptions
- Resource descriptions that are associated with the resource assignment.
