Resource definition objects

CSD files and CICSPlex® SM data repositories use different names for equivalent resource definition types. For example, a program resource definition in a CSD file is known as a PROGDEF in a CICSPlex SM data repository.

The CICS® Configuration Manager API object types reflect the names used by CICSPlex SM. For example, to refer to a program resource definition in a CSD file, you use the API object type PROGDEF. This allows you to work with resource definitions regardless of whether they are stored in CSD files or CICSPlex SM data repositories, using a single set of object types. This contrasts with the ISPF dialog, which presents the names used by CSD files. This is because, currently, most end users are more likely to be familiar with the CSD names than the CICSPlex SM names.

The following table lists the resource definition object types that you can edit using the CICS CM plug-in.
