You can copy resource definitions from one CICSĀ® configuration to another directly:
A pop-up window appears, prompting for the destination group and CICS configuration. Do not press Enter; we do not actually want to perform a copy at this time.
Copy Confirmation Enter details and press Enter to copy resources. Copy target details Group . . . . . . . . . TOURCCM + CICS Configuration . . . CCVT31D + Processing options Replace definitions . . YES (No, Yes)
Use this direct, "ad hoc" method of copying resource definitions with care. You may wish to restrict this ability to only a few users. In a typical, ordered workflow, rather than copying resource definitions using this method, you will add resource definitions to a change package, and then migrate that change package according to a migration scheme. Change packages offer both more flexibility and more control. For example, you can back out a change package migration with a single command.
