RELATED IDEAS

Group and List operations impossible with CICS Explorer

- Impossible to do an APPEND LIST to an inexistent LIST (in order to create a new list based upon an old one)


- While doing and ADD GROUP(xxx) to LIST(yyy), it's not possible to specify AFTER or BEFORE an other Group


- Impossible to copy a whole group of definitions (equivalent as the COPY GROUP(xxx) AS(yyy))



- CICS Explorer doesn't show an empty group that is in a LIST

If you suppress all the resources in a Group, it stays in the List (and thus, a Reply at the next Cold Startup). However, when you do a CEDA DIS LIST(list), you can see all the Groups in this List including the empty Group.

In CICS Explorer, I found than this "inexistent Group" is not shown in the "Resource Group Definitions".

CICS Explorer should, at least show this Group. Giving the information that it's inexistent (or empty which is the same) would be great.


Thanks

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months, or in the next CICS TS release. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
