In the WUI BAS functions are separated into basic and fully functional
view menus. To access BAS functions from the WUI main menu click Administration views.
At the bottom of the Administration views menu
are two sub-menus:
- Basic CICS resource administration views
- This provides a simplified RDO-like model of BAS including resource
definitions, resource groups and resource descriptions but not resource assignments.
- Fully functional Business Application Services (BAS) administration
views
- In addition to the basic model this also includes links to resource
assignment views aimed at more advanced users. This adds more power and flexibility
to the management of resource definitions. See Controlling resources by resource assignment for
more information about resource assignments.
Links from both sub-menus are split into three groups:
- Definitions
- Includes the following links:
- CICS resource definitions
- Menu containing links to definition views for each resource type as
shown in Figure 3.
