The CICS® system definition utility program (DFHCSDUP)
is a component of resource definition online (RDO). DFHCSDUP is an
offline utility program that allows you to read from and write to
a CICS system definition (CSD) file, either while CICS is
running or while it is inactive.
Using DFHCSDUP, you can do the following:
- Add a group to the end of a named list in a CSD file
- Alter the definition of a single resource, on the CSD
- Append a group list from one CSD file to a group list in another,
or in the same, CSD file
- Copy all of the resource definitions in one group to another group
in the same, or in a different, CSD file
- Define a single resource, or a group of resources, on the CSD
- Delete from the CSD a single resource definition, all of the resource
definitions in a group, or all of the group names in a list
- Extract requested data from the CSD and pass it to a named user
program for processing
- Initialize a new CSD file, and add to it the CICS-supplied resource
definitions
- List selected resource definitions, groups, and lists
- Migrate the contents of a table from a CICS load
library to a CSD file
- Process an APAR--that is, apply maintenance for a specific
APAR to the CSD
- Remove a single group from a list on the CSD file
- Scan all IBM-supplied and user-defined groups for a resource
- Service a CSD file when necessary
- Upgrade the CICS-supplied resource definitions in a primary CSD
file for a new release of CICS
- Define resources using a set of user-defined default values (USERDEFINE
command)
- Verify a CSD file by removing internal locks on groups and lists.
You can invoke DFHCSDUP in two ways:
- As a batch program. The next section refers to this method.
- From a user program running either in batch mode or in a TSO environment. Invoking DFHCSDUP from a user program describes this method.
DFHCSDUP as a part of the resource definition process is described
in the the CICS Resource Definition Guide.
