Moving or copying object definitions

About this task

Once you have created an object definition, you can easily move it or copy it to a different region. This is useful, for example, if you want to set the batch control properties of a file, then copy it to other regions or move it between regions. This saves you the work of having to define the same settings in multiple regions.

Procedure

  1. In the tree pane on the left side of the CICS® BAC main window, select the folder containing the object to be moved or copied.
  2. Select the object and use one of the following options:
    • To move the object, select the Cut icon on the toolbar or select Edit > Cut from the menu bar.
    • To copy the object, select the Copy icon on the toolbar or select Edit > Copy from the menu bar.
  3. Select the object folder to which you want to move or copy the object.
    Note: This must be the same type of object folder that contained the original object. For instance, you can move a File definition from the Files folder in one region to the Files folder in a different region. But you cannot move it from a Files folder to a Programs folder.
  4. Select the Paste icon on the toolbar or select Edit > Paste from the menu bar. The file is moved or copied automatically when you perform this action.
