You have already used one method to define a new resource definition, by
entering SAVEAS while editing an existing resource
definition. Another method is to use the DEF (or DEFINE) command on the list of resource definitions.
- On the list of resource definitions, enter DEF next to a resource definition.
A DEFINE Confirmation pop-up window appears, showing the details of the resource definition
you are about to define. The existing resource definition is used as a "model": the new resource definition will be created with the same attribute
values.
To define a resource definition starting with blank attribute
values, either enter DEF on the command line, or
delete the name of the model resource definition from the pop-up window.
Tip: Before
pressing Enter on the DEFINE Confirmation pop-up
window, check that the CICSĀ® configuration
specified is the one that you intended. By default, this window displays
the name of the CICS configuration where you previously defined a
resource definition. This is not necessarily the CICS configuration whose resource definitions
appear on the panel where you entered the DEF command.
- Edit some of the attributes of the new resource definition (for example,
its description). When you have finished, enter SAVE on
the command line, and then press the Exit key
(F3) to return to the list of resource
definitions.
