Figure 16. Detail of CICS resource definition BAS menus
Items at the bottom of the Administration views menu link to the Basic CICS resource administration views menu and the Fully functional BAS views menu.

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

CICS resource definitions
