Downloading all object properties of a certain type

  1. In the CICS® BAC main window, create a region folder for the region you want to download, or select the folder in the tree pane, if it already exists.
  2. Under the selected region, select the folder for the object type that you want to download (e.g., Files folder).
  3. Click the Download icon on the toolbar or select File > Download from Host > objecttype. This opens a special download dialog box.
  4. Enter the name of the file to download and click OK. You can also retrieve a list of objects by clicking the Browse Host button. If you enter a generic name, it will be used as a filter for the list retrieved from the host.

    Once you click OK or the Browse Host button, CICS BAC connects to the mainframe, downloads the properties, and updates the object folder. If you haven't already specified a host user ID and password, you will be asked to enter your user ID and password to complete the connection.

  5. Double click the properties object in the view pane to see the downloaded properties.
