Resource descriptions attribute descriptions

Auto Install
Specifies whether or not the set of resource definitions referenced by this description and its associated resource assignments and resource groups are to be automatically installed when a target MAS connects to the CICSplex.
NO
The set of resource definitions, resource groups and resource assignments is not to be automatically installed.
YES
The set of resource definitions, resource groups and resource assignments is to be automatically installed.
Note:
The CICSSYS definition for a target MAS also affects whether resources are automatically installed. The Install Resources value determines if and when resources can be installed in that system.
Description
(Optional.) A 1- to 30-character description of the resource description.
Force Install
Indicates whether or not you want to install the resources even if CICSPlex® SM believes they do not need to be installed.
NO
Do not force the installation of resources.
YES
Force the installation of resources.

Normally, CICSPlex SM checks to see if it was responsible for placing the currently installed resource in the CICS® system. If so, CICSPlex SM does not install the resource, to avoid inadvertently changing attributes of an active resource.

If you specify YES in this field, CICSPlex SM bypasses this duplicate resource checking and installs the new resource unconditionally.

Installed Name
The specific or generic name of a currently installed resource description that is to be replaced. If you enter a generic value, a list of valid resource descriptions is displayed.
Model
(Optional.) The specific or generic name of an existing resource description whose resource assignments are to be used by the new description. If you enter a generic value, a list of valid resource descriptions is displayed.
Name
A 1- to 8-character name for the resource description. The name can contain alphabetic, numeric, or national characters. However, the first character must be alphabetic.
Notify
Specifies the type of checking to be performed before attempting to install resources in the CICS systems associated with a new resource description:
NO
No checking is performed.
FULL
Perform both INACTIVE and RELEASE checking.
INACTIVE
Check for CICS systems in the target scope that are not currently active.
RELEASE
Check for CICS systems in the target scope that do not support EXEC CICS CREATE commands.
Related
The specific or generic name of an existing CICS system to which remote resources are to be assigned as LOCAL, if the Usage value in the resource assignment is REMOTE. If you enter a generic value, a list of valid CICS systems is displayed.
Note:
For remote transaction definitions (TRANDEFs) that are defined as dynamic, you can specify a CICS system group for the Related scope value. For all other remote resources, you can specify a CICS system group only if it consists of a single CICS system.
ResGroup
The specific or generic name of a resource group that contains, or will contain, resource definitions of a specified type. If you enter a generic value, a list of all resource groups is displayed.
ResGroup Scope
The specific or generic name of an existing CICS system or CICS system group with which you want to associate a set of resource definitions referenced by a description, and the resource groups that are directly associated with it (via RESINDSC). If you enter a generic value, a list of valid CICS systems and CICS system groups is displayed.

The resource definitions are associated "as is" with the specified scope; no assignment or override processing is performed.

Scope Name
A 1- to 8-character name used to identify the scope in end-user interface and API requests. The scope name must be unique within the CICSplex.
State Check
Indicates whether or not the existence and operational state of all resources are to be checked before an EXEC CICS CREATE command is issued.
NO
The existence and operational state of all resources are not to be checked.
YES
The existence and operational state of all resources are to be checked.
Target
The specific or generic name of an existing CICS system or CICS system group to which resources are to be assigned. If you enter a generic value, a list of valid CICS systems and CICS system groups is displayed.
Valid Scope
Specifies whether or not a resource description is to be registered with Topology Services as a logical scope.
NO
The resource description is not to be registered with Topology Services as a logical scope.
YES
The resource description is to be registered with Topology Services as a logical scope. If you specify YES, the name you specify in the Scope Name field can be used as a scope value for end-user interface and API requests.
