Organizing lists and groups or ResDescs and ResGroups

Lists and groups in CSD files are broadly similar in concept to ResDescs and ResGroups in CICSPlex® SM contexts: they offer two levels of hierarchy for organizing resource definitions. However, their implementations are quite different:

To create a list, group, ResDesc, or ResGroup:

  1. Expand the CICS® configuration to show the existing objects of that type. For details, see Exploring CICS configurations.
  2. Enter DEF on the command line to start with a blank object, or enter DEF next to an existing object to use it as a model.
