CICS-supplied resource definitions, groups, and lists

IBM® supplies definitions of resources that must be installed on your CICS® region, and definitions of resources used by the sample application programs.

You initialize the CSD file by using the DFHCSDUP INITIALIZE command. Following initialization, the CSD file contains two categories of resource definition groups:
  1. Groups named in DFHLIST, essential for using RDO and other CICS-supplied transactions
  2. Groups of definitions for the sample application programs. For details, see Sample application program groups or .
The CICS transactions, the TYPETERM definitions, model TERMINAL definitions, and PROFILE definitions that are supplied by IBM are in four groups:
  • DFHTYPE: TYPETERM definitions
  • DFHTERM: model TERMINAL definitions for automatic installation
  • DFHISC: PROFILE definitions for intersystem communication sessions
  • DFHSTAND: PROFILE definitions
