Preparing CICS resource definition
CICS® user-created tables and Resource Definition Online (RDO) describe the database and data communications environment, and the treatment of the elements in that environment.
They contain information about terminals, files, databases, programs, transactions, transient data destinations, and temporary storage data identifiers. They are created independently of system definition, but must be present for the system to be operational. The CICS System Log and Dynamic Log, which are optional in some CICS environments, are required for IMS-CICS ISC.
