Version 1.0.0.2 adds further enhancements to IBM® CICS Explorer™. Here is a description of the more significant new items available in this version.
New function |
Ability to display resources in a CICS CSD file | The CICS Explorer now provides the ability to display groups, lists, and resources in CICS TS V4 CSD files. When you set the scope to a single CICS region in the CICSplex Explorer view, you can display the contents of the CICS CSD file in a number of ways:
Using the CICSplex Repositories view you can expand the tree for a selected CICS region. The expanded list displays the groups and lists in the CSD file for that CICS region. When you select a list and open the Resource Group Definitions view, all the groups in the list are displayed. See CSD groups and lists for further information. |
Ability to create resource definitions in a single CICS region | You can now create resource definitions in a single CICS region (CSD). Using
the New Resource wizard you can now provide the name of a single CICS region in the new Region (CSD)
field, and create the resource definition in the CSD file. See Creating resources for further information. |

If the current scope is a CICSplex, all the BAS resource lists (RESDESC) in the CICSplex data repository are displayed. The view is accessible from the Administration menu on the toolbar. |
