Extracting records from the CSD

To migrate resource definitions from your CICS® system definition (CSD) file, CICSPlex® SM provides an exit routine that can extract records from an existing CSD. The exit routine uses the EXTRACT command of the CICS DFHCSDUP utility to read CSD records. The extracted CSD records are processed by the CICSPlex SM-supplied extract routine EYU9BCSD to generate equivalent CICSPlex SM resource definition records that you can use as input to the batched repository-update facility.
