Creating application lists

Once you have finished multiple application groups, you can combine them into application lists that can be processed as a single object during batch request utility job steps. To use this feature:

  1. Click the Application Lists folder in the tree pane on the left side of the CICS® BAC main window. This is the subfolder in which new or downloaded application lists are stored.
  2. Select File > New > Application list object or click the down arrow next to the New icon on the toolbar and select Application List from the drop-down menu.
  3. This displays a dialog box that you can use to specify the new list name.
  4. Choose one of the following options:

    This opens the main window for your new application list.

  6. Once you have selected all the groups to be included, use the controls in the middle of the dialog box to arrange the group names in your application list.
  7. To save your changes, select File > Save or click the Save icon. To cancel any changes since the window was opened or since the last save, click the Cancel icon.
  8. When you are finished customizing this application list, select File > Close Window to exit.
  9. Repeat this procedure for additional application lists that you want to define in the current CICS region or in any others.
