Editing a configuration file

You edit a CM configuration file with the configuration editor. You can update all the details that are associated with a configuration, except for the configuration name.

About this task

When you create a configuration file, you can choose to open the editor when you save the configuration. Alternatively, you can use the following procedure to open and update an existing configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the Configurations view, right-click the configuration that you want to edit and click Open. Alternatively, double-click the configuration to open the editor.
  2. Review the existing information and update it as required. The options available depend on the type of repository:
    CSD Connection Definitions
    The names of the remote system connections to the CICS regions that use this CSD file. This option is only available if the repository is a CSD file.
    Transformation Variables
    Variables that are used when CM processes the transformation rules. For more information about transformation variables, search for "Transformation variables" in the CICS Configuration Manager for z/OS product documentation in the CICS TS information center.
  3. Click Ctrl+S to save your changes.
