Resource assignment definitions

A resource assignment describes the characteristics of selected resource definitions and how those resources are to be assigned to CICS® systems.

The resource definitions to be assigned must be of a single resource type (such as a file) and must be associated with a resource group. The resource assignment identifies which resource definitions in the group are selected and to which CICS systems they are assigned. A single resource definition can be assigned as both a local and remote resource in multiple CICS systems. A resource assignment must be associated with at least one resource description (RESDESC object) before any assignment can begin.
