Editing resources defined in a CICS bundle project

To edit the definitions for resources that are defined in CICS® bundle projects, you use the CICS Explorer® resource editors. You can edit a resource definition in a CICS bundle project immediately after you create it. You can also edit a resource that you defined in a CICS bundle project at an earlier time.

1. Open the resource definition for editing.
   • To edit a new resource definition that you are just creating in a CICS bundle project, in the wizard select the Open editor check box before you click Finish. The resource editor opens when you have finished the wizard.
   • To edit a resource that you already defined in a CICS bundle project at an earlier time, you can open an editor from the Project Explorer view. Expand the CICS bundle in the Project Explorer view and locate the name of the resource. Right-click the resource name and select Open with, then select the name of the appropriate resource editor, such as Program Definition Resource. The resource editor opens and displays the resource attributes.
2. Update the values for the attributes. Only the attributes that you can edit are displayed. In resource editors for resources defined in bundles, you cannot view attributes that you cannot edit.
   • If the attribute value must be one from a predetermined list, a button is displayed next to the Value field. Clicking the button displays a list of all the possible values. When you click a value, it is entered in the Value field.
   • If the attribute value is free-form text, you can type the new value in the field.
   • You can select or specify an empty string for the value of an attribute. If you choose an empty string, the attribute is removed from the resource definition in the bundle project when you save your changes.
3. To edit a JVM profile that is packaged in a CICS bundle project, expand the CICS bundle in the Project Explorer view. Right-click the name of the JVM profile and select Open with, then select the JVM Profile editor. Edit the options in the JVM profile as appropriate for your environment. The JVM profile (.jvmprofile file) must be located in the same directory as the resource definition for the JVM server (.jvmserver file). For information on the options and settings available in JVM profiles, and specific suggestions for JVM servers that are configured to run functions such as OSGi applications, Axis2, or Liberty, see Setting up a JVM server in the CICS TS V5.2 product information.
4. To edit a pipeline configuration file that is packaged in a CICS bundle project, expand the CICS bundle in the Project Explorer view. Right-click the name of the pipeline configuration file and select Open with, then select the Text editor. Add appropriate message handlers, header processing programs, and application handlers for your pipeline. For descriptions of the CICS-supplied sample pipeline configuration files, information on the XML elements that are used in a pipeline configuration file, and examples, see Pipeline configuration files in the CICS TS V5.2 product information.
5. When your updates are complete, click Save, or press Ctrl-S, to apply the changes to the definition. Your changes are saved in the bundle project. You can then close the editor.
