Editing resources defined in a CICS bundle project
To edit the definitions for resources that are defined in CICS® bundle projects, you use the CICS Explorer® resource editors. You can edit a resource definition in a CICS bundle project immediately after you create it. You can also edit a resource that you defined in a CICS bundle project at an earlier time.
About this task
- Event binding
- Event processing (EP) adapter
- EP adapter set
- FILE resource definitions
- JVMSERVER resource definitions
- LIBRARY resource definitions
- PIPELINE resource definitions
- PROGRAM resource definitions
- TCPIPSERVICE resource definitions
- TRANSACTION resource definitions
- URIMAP resource definitions
- WEBSERVICE resource definitions
To edit an event binding, EP adapter, or EP adapter set, you use the event binding editors. See CICS Event Binding Editor User Guide.
To edit a JVM profile that is packaged in a CICS bundle project with a JVMSERVER resource definition, you use the JVM Profile editor.
To edit a pipeline configuration file that is packaged in a CICS bundle project with a PIPELINE resource, you use the Text editor.
To edit a policy that is packaged in a CICS bundle project, use the Text editor.
Web service binding files and WSDL documents that are packaged in a CICS bundle project with a WEBSERVICE resource cannot be edited in the CICS Explorer, only imported.
For an overview of the CICS Explorer resource editors and tips on using them, see Working with editors.
For instructions to browse and edit resources that are defined in a CICSplex or CICS system, rather than in a CICS bundle, see Browsing and editing resources.
Procedure
What to do next
If you have not yet deployed the CICS bundle project, when you have edited the resources deploy the CICS bundle or the application bundle that references it. For instructions to deploy an application bundle, see Deploying a CICS Application project. When you deploy the CICS bundle or the application bundle and install it, the dynamically generated resources are created in the CICS regions with the modifications that you made.
If you already deployed the CICS bundle project that contains the resource definition, or the application bundle that references it, you need to export the new version of the CICS bundle or application bundle to z/OS UNIX, disable and discard the resource that represents the previous version of the bundle, and install a resource that represents the new version of the bundle. Follow the instructions in Updating CICS bundles to do this. When you reinstall the CICS bundle or the application bundle, new resources are dynamically generated in the CICS regions with your modifications.
