Resource descriptions

Similar to a resource group, a resource description represents a set of logically related resources. You can associate whole resource groups with a resource description to create a larger set of resources that can be managed more efficiently. In addition, you can associate resource assignments with a resource description to create a select set of resources, such as an application that spans more than one CICS® system.

It might consist of all the resources in several resource groups or resource assignments (much like a CSD group list) or the set of resources that make up a given application on various CICS systems.

The set of resources identified in a resource description can be:
