Performing actions against a resource
You can use CICS Explorer® to perform actions against CICSPlex® SM or CICS® resources when you are connected to a CICS Version 4 or later system. The actions you can perform depend on the type of resource.
Before you begin
About this task
Procedure
- Open or select the view that contains the resource to perform an action against. Some actions are available only in the CICSplex Explorer view.
- Right-click the resource selection to display the menu. You can use the Shift or Ctrl keys (shift or cmd keys for macOS) to select multiple resources.
- Select the action you require. If the action requires additional parameters, you can select the appropriate parameter from a further set of menu options.
Results
The Perform Operation dialog is displayed showing the action
and the resource selected. Click OK to perform
the action. If the action fails, a message is displayed in the Perform
Action dialog.
If the action is against more than one resource, the
actions are performed sequentially, and the Perform Operation dialog
shows the status as each action is completed. If one of the actions
fails, an error message is displayed and the failing object is identified
in the Perform Operation dialog. Execution stops at the failing object.
You must correct the error and restart the operation at the failing
point.
If the action is successful, the dialog closes and a message is displayed in the workbench status bar.
