To add a resource definition to the change package (also known
as "packaging" a resource definition), display a list
panel that contains the resource definition, and then enter
line action P (Package) next to that
resource definition.
Tip: If you want to add several resource definitions to
the same change package, select primary menu option 3 Packages, enter line action S next to the change package, and then
choose the Package processing command.
This displays a list panel of resource definitions. The advantage
of using this list panel is that line action P adds
the resource definition to the selected change package immediately;
on other list panels, you must select the change package each time
in a pop-up window.
Packaging a CSD list object
You can add a CSD list object to a change package, with the following
restrictions:
- You can only migrate a CSD list object to a CICSĀ® configuration that refers a CSD file, a CICS Configuration Manager export file, or
a DFHCSDUP export file. You cannot migrate a CSD list object to a CICS configuration that refers
to a context or a BATCHREP export file.
- Packaging a list only adds the list object (a set of group names)
to the change package, not the groups in the list (or their resource
definitions).
To package a CSD list object, either:
- Select primary menu option 3 Packages, enter S next to the change package, choose
the Package processing command, specify
LIST in the Type filter field and the CICS configuration
that contains the list in the Config filter field, press Enter to
refresh the panel, and then enter P next
to the list you want to package.
or
- Select primary menu option 2 CICS Resources, enter X next to the CICS configuration that contains the list, press
Enter to display the lists in that CICS configuration,
and then enter P next to the list
you want to package.
For the types of resource definitions that you can package, see Table 1.
