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:
- Groups named in DFHLIST, essential for using RDO and other CICS transactions. Find out about the resource definitions in DFHLIST in Resource definition groups in DFHLIST
- Groups of definitions for the sample application programs. For details, see Sample application program groups.
Some resources are provided outside DFHLIST. See CICS-supplied groups not in DFHLIST.
CICS® supplies RDO groups for compatibility with earlier releases. See CSD compatibility between different CICS releases.
