Web User Interface views for resource objects

You can use a simple approach to managing CICS resources using the CICSPlex SM object model of definitions in groups, groups associated with descriptions, and descriptions associated with CICS regions. Alternatively, you can use a more selective approach by using resource assignment to select and assign resources.

The following figures provide an overview of the WUI views that you can use to create some of the administration objects. The titles of the views are followed by the object names in parentheses. Figure 1
Figure 1. Views for managing CICS resources - a simple approach
The diagram illustrates the relationships between some of the views used for managing CICS resources. Object names are in brackets. The following views are described beginning at the top with CICS system definition (CSSYSDEF object), which defines CICS regions to , specifies whether resources defined in Resource description definitions (RESDESC objects) are to be autoinstalled and specifies recovery procedures. System group definition (CSYSGRP object) identifies groups in a CICSplex. Resource description definition (RESDESC object) identifies sets of logically related CICS definitions that can act as a scope and which are allowed to be autoinstalled when a MAS connects to a CICSplex. Resource group in resource description (RESINDSC object) associates resource groups with resource descriptions. Resource group definition (RESGROUP object) defines a set of related resource definitions. CICS resource definitions in group (RESINGRP object) associates a resource definition with a resource group. The resource Definition (resDEF object), for example Connection definition (CONNDEF object) describe the attributes of a particular resource.

System group definition (CSYSGRP object) identifies groups in a CICSplex. Resource assignment definition (RASGNDEF object) identifies which resource definitions are selected and which CICS systems they are assigned to. Resource group in resource description (RASINDSC object) associates a resource assignment with a resource description. Resource description definition (RESDESC object) identifies sets of logically related CICS definitions that can act as a scope and which are allowed to be autoinstalled when a MAS connects to a CICSplex. Resource group definition (RESGROUP object) defines a set of related resource definitions. CICS resource definition in group (RESINGRP object) associates a resource definition with a resource group. The resource Definition (resDEF object), for example Connection definition (CONNDEF object) describe the attributes of a particular resource.
