Save a TOURDEVT resource definition under a new name

You have just edited a resource definition and then saved it. Now we are going to make further edits to the resource definition, and then save it under a new name:

  1. Edit some more attribute values.
  2. On the command line, enter SAVEAS

    A pop-up window appears, prompting for details.

  3. Save this resource definition under a new name, but in the same group, and in the same CICS configuration, TOURDEVT.

    After saving the new resource definition, you return to the edit panel for the original resource definition, not the new resource definition.

  4. Press the Cancel key (F12) to ignore any edits to this resource definition since the last save, and return to the list of resource definitions.

    You have just edited a resource definition, and then created a new resource definition based on that existing resource definition, with a few additional edits. Let us compare the attributes of these two resource definitions side-by-side.
