Understanding the CICS region and resource object defaults

About this task

Once the workstation administration client is started, you are ready to begin exploring the interface a bit more. Notice the Default Properties folder in the tree pane at the upper left on the screen. If you click on this, you will see that default properties already have been defined for each type of CICS® BAC object.

These are the overall default settings that will be applied for each type of object each time you create a new CICS region folder. Double-clicking any of the Object names in the view pane at the upper right shows you the default values for that object. For example, double-clicking the File object name opens the Maintain Default File Properties window.

Notice that this particular object definition has five sections, as indicated by the tabs across the top. In the default object view, some of the tabs are unavailable. This is because you can only set defaults for certain information on the first two tabs. The definitions on the other tabs only apply when defining the actual file objects (not the defaults).

Any default selections that are available for change on these panels are the same selections that you will see when defining custom settings for the individual objects (File, TD Queue, and so on).
