How CICSĀ® Configuration Manager renames a context-based resource definition depends upon whether the resource definition name changes, or if only the ResGroup name changes. In either case, the rename affects only the source and target ResGroups. Other ResGroups are unaffected by the rename, and may still refer to the source resource definition that was renamed. These are the processing rules for renaming context-based resource definitions:
The source resource definition is removed from the source ResGroup. If the resource definition belongs only to this ResGroup, then the resource definition is deleted, thereby eliminating orphaned resource definitions. The source ResGroup is never deleted, even if the removal of the resource definition results in an empty ResGroup.
If the source resource belongs to other ResGroups, then the resource definition is not deleted. This ensures that those other ResGroups are unaffected by the rename.
If the source resource definition belongs to other ResGroups, these ResGroups are unaffected by the rename.
