CICS® includes
a number of facilities that help you manage your resources once you have created
them on the CSD.
- The resource management transaction CEDA
- An online transaction that allows you to operate on resource definitions
held in the CSD. See The CEDA transaction tutorial and Resource management transaction CEDA commands.
- The resource management utility program DFHCSDUP
- A batch program that allows you to operate on and list the CSD offline.
See CICS Operations
and Utilities Guide.
- The RDO command logs
- Separate transient data queues that record information about resource
definition. See CICS System
Definition Guide
- The CICS global catalog
- A data set that is not used exclusively for RDO, but is used to record
installed resource attributes for warm and emergency restarts. See CICS System Definition Guide.
- CEMT
- CEMT is a CICS-supplied transaction that you use to invoke all the master
terminal functions. The master terminal program provides dynamic user control
of the CICS system. By using this function, an operator can inquire about
and change the values of parameters used by CICS, alter the status of the
system resources, terminate tasks, and shut down the CICS system. See CICS Supplied Transactions.
- SPI commands
- The CICS system programming interface (SPI) commands are used to manage
the CICS system and its resources. These commands, which provide you with
a command-level equivalent to the function of the master terminal transaction
(CEMT), fall into three categories:
- Commands that retrieve information about a CICS resource or system element
- Commands that modify the status or definition of the system or a resource,
or invoke a system process
- Commands that modify or expand system execution by means of exits.
