You can override the values defined in a property group for a specific resource.
For a specific resource, you can override
values for the properties in the resource's current property group.
The overridden values do not affect any other resource, nor do they
affect the property group itself. Rather, they are local to the resource.
In this way, you can work with variations in property groups. Using
property overrides is a good way to change a property value for a
specific purpose, such as testing the effect of a change before propagating
it to other resources. If the current property group for a resource
is changed, the overridden values are deleted. You can
specify property group overrides for PDS members and for files in
local COBOL and PL/I projects. Property group overrides are not available
for MVS subprojects, partitioned data sets, the MVS Files node in
the Remote Systems view, local COBOL and PL/I projects, and directories
in local COBOL and PL/I projects.
A resource with property overrides displays Overrides Yes in the Property group section of the Properties view. See Finding the current properties of a resource for more information.
