Display a list of resource definitions in TOURDEVT
- On the primary menu, select option 2
CICS
Resources.
The list of CICS® configurations appears.
- Press the PrevPage key (F10) or the NextPage key (F11) to scroll hidden columns into view.
Notice that you can choose to view either the CICS configuration descriptions, or the names of their underlying CSD files or CICSPlex® SM contexts.
Like any other list panel in CICS Configuration Manager, to see the actions that you can perform on an item in the list, you enter / next to an item.
- Enter / next to one of the CICS configurations in the list.
A pop-up window appears showing the list of actions that you can perform on the selected CICS configuration.
- Press the Cancel key (F12) to close the pop-up window.
- Enter S next to the TOURDEVT CICS configuration. Tip: To scroll the list to this CICS configuration, enter L TOURDEVT on the command line. To hide CICS configurations that are not related to this tour, enter TOUR* in the filter field above the Name column.
A list panel appears with filter fields and column headings, but no list items. Instead, directly under the column headings is a
bottom of data
indicator. This empty list is normal: the panel does not display any list items until you press Enter. This allows you to adjust the filter before displaying the list, avoiding delays caused by listing more resource definitions than required. - Type filter masks for the resource definition name, type, and group. For details on specifying a
filter, move the cursor to a filter field and then press the Help key (F1).
Specify a filter that displays resource definitions of a type that are familiar to you. For example, if you are familiar with transaction resource definitions, specify CIR* for the name, select TRANSACTION as the type, and DFH* as the group to find some transactions you can use in this tutorial.
- Press Enter.
The list displays the resource definitions that match the filter.
These transactions might belong to a different group name beginning with DFH. The group name depends on the version of CICS Transaction Server running on the CICS region whose SDFHLOAD load library you used to initialize the CSD file. Regardless of the version, the group name begins with DFH, which indicates that the resource definition is supplied as part of CICS.
The list column headings are
point-and-shoot
fields: to sort the list by a column, select the column heading.Tip: To scroll to a particular resource definition, enter L name on the command line, where name is the name of the resource definition, or just its leading characters.
