You can perform actions against CICSPlex® SM or CICS® resources when you are connected to a CICS version 4 system, using the CICS Explorer™. The actions
you can perform are dependent on the resource selected.
Before you begin
Some actions can only be performed against multiple resources
if all resources are available. Some resources in your selection might
not be available, for example, if you have 1500 transaction definitions
and select them all, some of the resources might not be available,
in which case some of the actions in the context menu might be disabled.
You should select a smaller range of resources, for example, restrict
your selection to only those resources displayed in the view.
About this task
For full details of the actions, see the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® documentation. This task describes how
to perform the actions using the CICS Explorer.
Procedure
- Open or select the view containing the resource to perform
an action against. You can select multiple resources using the shift
or Ctrl keys.
- Right-click the resource selection to display the context
menu.
- Select the action to perform. Some actions may require
additional parameters. If this is the case, the context menu contains
a second level and the correct parameter must be selected on this
level.
Results
The Perform Operation dialog is displayed
showing the action and the resource selected. Click OK to
perform the action. If the action fails a message is displayed in
the Perform Action dialog.
If
the action is against more than one resource, the actions are performed
sequentially, and the Perform Operation dialog shows the status as
each action is completed. If one of the actions fails, an error message
is displayed and the failing object is identified in the Perform Operation
dialog. Execution stops at the failing object. You must correct the
error and restart the operation at the failing point.
If the
action is successful, the dialog closes and a message is displayed
in the workbench status bar.
For more information about actions
for a specific resource, see the CICS Transaction
Server for z/OS documentation.
