Resource names for z/OS platform

These are the details for creating resource names for use on z/OS Batch and CICS platforms.

Resource names created in the Resource Registry can be used in maps running on z/OS platforms. However, there are a few things to take into consideration:

  • Resource values must conform to z/OS rules for their types, such as DDNAMES and Database names.
  • Virtual server defined for the z/OS platform must be named MVSSERVER
  • Resource name file (.mrn) must be copied to z/OS platform
  • Name and location of resource name file are specified in either DTXMRN DDNAME for Batch region or DTXMRN VSAM dataset definition for CICS region
  • Resource configuration file (.mrc) is not required
