To add a resource definition to the change package (also known
as "packaging" a resource definition), display a list
panel that contains the resource definition, and then enter
line action P (Package) next to
that resource definition.
Tip: If you want to add several resource definitions to
the same change package, select primary menu option 3 Packages, enter line action S next to the change package, and then
choose the Package processing command.
This displays a list panel of resource definitions. The advantage
of using this list panel is that line action P adds the resource definition to the
selected change package immediately; on other list panels, you must
select the change package each time in a pop-up window.
Packaging a CSD list object
You can add a CSD list object to a change package, with the following
restrictions:
- You can only migrate a CSD list object to a CICSĀ® configuration that refers to a CSD file,
a CICS Configuration Manager export
file, or a DFHCSDUP export file. You cannot migrate a CSD list object
to a CICS configuration that
refers to a context or a BATCHREP export file.
- Packaging a list only adds the list object (a set of group names)
to the change package, not the groups in the list (or their resource
definitions).
To package a CSD list object, either:
- Select primary menu option 3 Packages, enter S next to the change package, choose
the Package processing command,
specify LIST in the Type filter field and the CICS configuration that contains the list in
the Config filter field, press Enter to refresh the panel, and then
enter P next to the list you want
to package.
or
- Select primary menu option 2 CICS Resources, enter X next to the CICS configuration that contains the list, press
Enter to display the lists in that CICS configuration, and then enter P next to the list you want to package.
For the types of resource definitions that you can package, see Table 1.
