CICS Explorer - Enhancements to the CSD Resource Groups View.

It would be nice to have an easy view into what CSD groups are associated with what CSD lists. Could a column "CSD Resource List" be added to the CSD Resource Groups View?

Also, other views can be "exported" by using control-C and control-V, and the contents are based in a tab-separated format. Could that function be added to the CSD Resource Group and CSD Resource List views?

    Hey thanks for the update. I apologize for not responding sooner, I guess I need to enable email notifications.

    That was a good suggestion to click on a List to see the Groups display update. That was new for me.

    And I did confirm that I can now copy/paste these two tables -- I don't know why I had issues before but I did just install some Explorer updates.

    However, the big benefit to having a "List" column in the Groups table view would be to easily see RDO groups that are not tied to a List and might therefore be candidates for "cleanup" work. I know there are other ways to get that information -- it just would be super convenient to have it in a table view.

    Thanks for this suggestion. Currently the best visibility of the group/list relationship is by having both the CSD Resource Lists and CSD Resource Groups open. If you select a list, the groups view updates to show the contained groups.

    I am able to use copy/paste to retrieve data from both of those views. Are you on the latest CICS Explorer? We did make several changes to the structure of these views in the CICS Explorer 5.5 time frame and it's possible these enabled copy/paste.
