Creating Resource Registry name files

You need to define a name file for the Resource Registry.

The resource name (.mrn) file contains specifications for the resource such as:

  • Resource name
  • Resource value
  • Virtual server that the resource is associated with
  • Encryption setting for the resource value, encryption key ID, and master key file

You can use the same resource name across all platforms. The .mrn file is platform-independent.

You can define an unlimited number of sets of resources and virtual servers in one .mrn file.

See the Command Server documentation for information on items to take into consideration if you use resource names in maps running on a z/OS® Batch or CICS® version of the Command Server.

To create a resource name file:

  1. In the navigator, select Resource Files.
  2. From the File menu, choose New.

    The New dialog appears.

  3. Specify the location of the resource name file by browsing your file structure.
  4. In the File name field, enter the name of the resource name file.
  5. Click New.

    The resource name file displays in the navigator.
