Working with the RESGROUP view

The topics covered by this section are:

Action commands

Table 46 summarizes the action commands you can use with the RESGROUP view. Table 47 identifies the overtype fields that you can use with the RES action command.

Table 46. RESGROUP view action commands
Primary command Line command Description
n/a ADD Add an association between a resource group and a resource description, as described in Adding a resource group to a resource description.
n/a BRO Browse a resource group definition. Neither of the fields is modifiable.
CREate CRE Create a resource group and add it to the data repository, as described in Creating a resource group.
n/a INS For systems running either CICS®/ESA 4.1 and later, install the resources associated with the resource group in an active system, as described in Installing resource groups.
n/a MAP Display a visual map of business application services definitions using the specified group as a starting point.
REMove resgroup REM Remove a resource group from the data repository.
Note:
You cannot remove a resource group if it is currently named in a resource description, resource assignment, or description-to-assignment association. You must first identify a new resource group or remove the RESDESC, RASGNDEF, or RASINDSC definition altogether.
n/a RES Add multiple resource definitions of the specified type to a resource group, as described in Adding resource definitions to a resource group.

When you issue the RES command, you can enter a resource type value in the Restype field. If you omit the resource type at this stage, a selection list is displayed showing available resource types.

You can also specify a version number in the ResVer field and a generic resource name in the Pattern field to limit the list of resource definitions that is displayed.

Note:
To add a single resource definition to a resource group, you can use the ADD action command from the appropriate resource definition view (for example, the FILEDEF view to add a file definition).
n/a UPD Update a resource group definition. Only the Description field is modifiable; you cannot change the resource group name.
