Automatic resource installation

The automatic installation of resources in a CICS® system is controlled by:

• The CICS system definition, which tells CICSPlex® SM under what conditions resources should be installed and what to do if installation errors occur.
• One or more resource descriptions and, optionally, resource assignments, which tell CICSPlex SM what resources to install and how to install them.

When a CICS system initializes and identifies itself to a CMAS, CICSPlex SM reviews all the resource descriptions that are associated with that CICS system and determines the set of resources that should be installed.
