Update an existing CICS region object in the CICS region control file.
You can use the UPDATE REGION command to modify a CICS region object record in a region control file. If a record for the specified CICS region that you are trying to update does not exist in the region control file, the file maintenance utility rejects the command as an error with error message CBKxx7206E.
Note that you cannot specify an ADDIFNEW parameter for the CICS region object record as you can with other resource types. For information about the CICS region control file, see Defining and initializing a CICS BAC control file.
See also the STARTUPOPTS parameter on the definitions of the CICS BAC FILE, PROGRAM, TDQUEUE, and TRANSID resource objects.
See the UNDEFINED and UNDEFINEDresource parameters for more information.

Similarly, if the CICS BAC state change monitor is active and tracking resource state changes in the CICS region, it could detect a state change request for an undefined resource.
If you have specified NO on an UNDEFINEDresource parameter, specify the action CICS BAC is to take as follows:
