Managing BAS

Your BAS environment is set up and managed using the objects described in Table 3.

Table 3. Resource administration objects
Object name Description Function
RASGNDEF Resource assignments A resource assignment describes the characteristics of the selected resource definition type, and how those resources are to be assigned to CICS® systems. The assigned resources must all be of one type, for example, files, and must belong to a resource group. A resource can be assigned as both local and remote in one or more CICS systems. Before you can use the resource assignment, you must associate with a resource description; see the RESDESC object.

This object is also used to identify the attributes to be used in selecting the resources to be assigned and any attribute values to be changed when the resources are assigned.

RASINDSC Resource assignments in resource description This view displays information about resource descriptions, and the resource assignments associated with them. This information includes, for each resource, its resource group and any assigned CICS system to CICS system group.
RASPROC Resource assignment process This view displays the resources that will be processed when the specified resource assignment is processed. The resources displayed are selected from those in the associated resource group, using any supplied selection criteria.
RDSCPROC Resource description process This view displays the resources that will be selected when a specified resource description is processed. The resources can be selected from resource groups that are directly related to the resource description, as in migration form BAS, and from resource assignments, using any selection criteria currently in effect.
RESDESC Resource descriptions A resource description identifies a set of resource groups, and hence resource definitions. You use this object to specify whether or not you want to use logical scoping for this resource description, and the CICS systems for the associated resource groups.
RESGROUP Resource groups This object is used to associate one or more related resource definitions. The resource definitions may be of the same or different types.
RESINDSC Resource groups in description This view displays information about existing resource descriptions and the resource groups associated with them.
RESINGRP Resource definitions in resource group This view displays information about existing resource groups and the resource definitions associated with them.
SYSLINK System links This view displays information about the links that exist between CICS systems in the CICSplex. The information includes the names of the CICS systems and the names of the connection and session definitions used in defining the link.
SYSRES CICS system resources This view displays the resources that will be assigned to a specified CICS system. The resources are selected on the basis of the resource descriptions currently associated with the CICS system.
resDEF Resource definition For each resource definition type, there is a resource definition object that defines the attributes for that definition. The available resource types for CICSPlex® SM are: CONNDEF, DB2CDEF, DB2EDEF, DB2TDEF, DOCDEF,ENQMDEF, FENODDEF, FEPOODEF, FEPRODEF, FETRGDEF, FILEDEF, FSEGDEF, JRNLDEF, JRNMDEF, LSRDEF, MAPDEF, PARTDEF, PROCDEF, PROFDEF, PROGDEF, PRTNDEF, RQMDEF, SESSDEF, TCPDEF, TDQDEF, TERMDEF, TRANDEF, TRNCLDEF, TSMDEF, TYPTMDEF

The object models showing the relationships between these objects are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15.

Figure 14. The migration form BAS object model
The diagram illustrates the relationships between views used for managing CICS resources using the migration form of BAS. The following views are described beginning at the top with CICSSYS. CICSSYS defines CICS regions to CICSPlex System Manager, specifies whether resources defined in RESDESCs are to be autoinstalled and specifies recovery procedures. CICSGRP identifies groups in a CICSplex. RESDESC identifies sets of logically related CICS definitions that can act as a scope and which are allowed to be autoinstalled when a MAS connects to a CICSplex. RESINDSC associates resource groups with resource descriptions. RESGROUP defines a set of related resource definitions. RESINGRP associates a resource definition with a resource group. The resource definitions, for example CONNDEF, TRANDEF describe the attributes of a particular resource.

Figure 15. The full-function BAS object model
The diagram illustrates the relationships between views used for managing CICS resources using the full-function approach to BAS. The following views are described beginning at the top with CICSSYS. CICSSYS defines CICS regions to CICSPlex System Manager, specifies whether resources defined in RESDESCs are to be autoinstalled and specifies recovery procedures. CICSGRP identifies groups in a CICSplex. RASGNDEF identifies which resource definitions are selected and which CICS systems they are assigned to. RASINDSC associates a resource assignment with a resource description. RESDESC identifies sets of logically related CICS definitions that can act as a scope and which are allowed to be autoinstalled when a MAS connects to a CICSplex. RESGROUP defines a set of related resource definitions. RESINGRP associates a resource definition with a resource group. The resource definitions, for example CONNDEF, TRANDEF describe the attributes of a particular resource.
