Understanding CICS region properties

About this task

When you create a new region folder, it represents a CICS® region control file on the host mainframe computer, and contains default properties and resource objects that have been defined within CICS BAC to represent actual resources in a CICS region.

The region folder contains its own Region Properties object that specifies appropriate behavior for CICS BAC during region startup.

You can view these parameters by double-clicking the Region Properties object in a region folder. Each of these properties represents a tab in the Region Properties window. Each tab contains comments in bold that denote when changes to the various properties will take effect after uploading the region properties to the CICS region control file. For more details, refer to the sections explaining each type of region properties parameter, later in this document.
