Location of CSD files

To manage resource definitions in a CSD file, the CICS® Configuration Manager server must be able to access the CSD file. The CSD file must be on the same system as the server, or on shared DASD accessible to the server.

Figure 1. CSD files must be on the same system as the CICS Configuration Manager server, or on shared DASD

If you want to use CICS Configuration Manager to manage resource definitions that are stored in a CSD file on a remote system, you must install CICS Configuration Manager on the remote system, and log on to that system to manage those resource definitions. For example, suppose that your organization has two data centers: one in New York, and one in Shanghai. Rather than using a single CICS Configuration Manager installation to manage the CICS regions for both centers, your organization has decided to install CICS Configuration Manager at both data centers. If you are a CICS administrator in Shanghai, and you need to manage the CICS resource definitions at the data center in New York, you need to remotely log on to the New York system, and use its CICS Configuration Manager.

Alternatively, you can store the resource definitions in a CICSPlex® SM data repository, rather than a CSD file.
