Discard, install, or newcopy of a resource definition in an active CICS region

To perform an action (discard, install, or newcopy) on an active CICSĀ® region:

  1. Display the resource definition that you want to use on a list panel.
  2. Enter the appropriate line action next to the resource definition: DSC (Discard), I (Install), or N (Newcopy or phase-in).

    A pop-up window appears, prompting your for further details about the action.

    Actions on CSD-based CICS regions

    If you entered a line action next to a CSD-based resource definition, the pop-up window prompts you to select one or more remote system connections: these identify the CSD-based CICS regions on which you want to perform the action. The pop-up window presents a selection list of the remote system connections that are defined in the CICS configuration of the resource definition.

    If the pop-up window does not list any remote system connections, you cannot perform the action. Before performing actions on active CSD-based CICS regions, you, or your CICS Configuration Manager administrator, must perform the procedure described in Optional: Configure the agent for CSD-based CICS regions. This procedure includes specifying remote system connection names in CICS configurations.

  3. Specifying the action details, and then press Enter.

If a discard, install, or newcopy action succeeds, the Prompt column displays "*Discarded", "*Installed", or "*Newcopied" next to the resource definition.

To get information about why an action failed, enter the line action ? (question mark) next to the resource definition. A pop-up window appears describing the reason for the failure. For a description of any return, reason, or error codes displayed, press the Help key (F1) and scroll down to the links for each type of code.

To view a history of actions, select primary menu option 4.4 Historical Reports: CICS resources.
