Renaming resource definitions

When renaming a resource definition, you can optionally also move the resource definition to another group in the same CICSĀ® configuration (or, for context-based CICS configurations, to another ResGroup).

To move all resource definitions in a group, or only those resource definitions in the group that match a particular combination of name and type, see Renaming a group or a ResGroup (moving resource definitions).

In the following procedures, if a resource definition with the same name and type already exists in the destination group, then the rename fails.

To rename a resource definition without moving it to another group:

  1. Display the resource definition on a list panel.
  2. Type REN next to the resource definition.
  3. In the Prompt column, type the new name.
  4. Press Enter.

To rename a resource definition and move it to another group:

  1. Display the resource definition on a list panel.
  2. Type REN next to the resource definition.

    Leave the Prompt column blank.

  3. Press Enter.

    A pop-up window appears, prompting for the new name and, optionally, the destination group.

    Tip: To move a resource definition to another group without renaming it, leave the resource definition name unchanged, but select another group.

To rename a block of resource definitions without moving them:

  1. Display the resource definitions on a list panel. If possible, filter the list so that it displays only the resource definitions that you want to rename.
  2. On the command line, type REN * and then press Enter. This inserts REN next to each item in the list.
  3. Copy the existing names from the Name column to the Prompt column.

    If you are using a Windows-based terminal emulator:

    Here is a quick way to copy the existing resource definition names to the Prompt column:

    1. Select the column of existing names (drag your mouse pointer over the names)
    2. Copy the selected names to the Clipboard (press Ctrl+C)
    3. Move the cursor to the Prompt column
    4. Paste the names into the Prompt column (press Ctrl+V)

    If the list occupies more than one screen, scroll down and repeat the procedure above. (The rename is performed only when you press Enter, not when you scroll.)

  4. Press Enter.
