CICS regions into which the PIPELINE definition is installed must have full permissions to the shelf directory—read, write, and the ability to create subdirectories.
A single shelf directory can be shared by multiple CICS regions and by multiple PIPELINE definitions. Within a shelf directory, each CICS region uses a separate subdirectory to keep its files separate from those of other CICS regions. Within each region's directory, each PIPELINE uses a separate subdirectory.
After a CICS region performs a cold or initial start, it deletes its subdirectories from the shelf before trying to use the shelf.
You should not attempt to modify the contents of a shelf that is referred to by an installed PIPELINE definition. If you do, the effects are unpredictable.

The Web service binding directory contains Web service binding files that are associated with a PIPELINE, and that are to be installed automatically by the CICS scanning mechanism. When the PIPELINE definition is installed, CICS scans the directory and automatically installs any Web service binding files it finds there. Note that this happens regardless of whether the PIPELINE is installed in enabled or disabled state.
If you specify a value for the WSDIR attribute, it must refer to a valid HFS directory to which the CICS region has at least read access. If this is not the case, any attempt to install the PIPELINE resource will fail.
If you do not specify a value for WSDIR, no automatic scan takes place on installation of the PIPELINE, and PERFORM PIPELINE SCAN commands will fail.
