Comparing two objects side-by-side
You can compare, side-by-side, any two of these objects:
- Lists or ResDescs
- Groups or ResGroups
- Resource definitions of the same resource type
You can compare two lists, two ResDescs, two groups, two ResGroups, a list and a ResDesc, or a group and a ResGroup. You can compare two PROGDEF resource definitions side-by-side, but you cannot compare a PROGDEF side-by-side with, say, a MAPDEF.
To compare two objects side-by-side:
- Display a list
panel that contains both objects.
For example, to compare objects in the same CICSĀ® configurations, use primary menu option 2 CICS Resources. To compare objects in different CICS configurations, use primary menu option 4.1 Multiple Configs.
- Type CM next to each object, and then press Enter.
- The details of the two objects appear side-by-side.
The side-by-side comparison of two resource definitions is straightforward: the comparison shows the attributes of each resource definition with differences highlighted. To set the highlighting method for these differences, use the
menu.The side-by-side comparisons of lists/ResDescs and groups/ResGroups are more complex.
