Implementing a Local System Image of the Managed Resources › Relate a Resource with Other Resources

Relate a Resource with Other Resources

When you have defined the resources in a system image, you can define the relationships between the resources. You can define relationships between resources in the local system image, and between resources in a local system image and a shared system image with the same home system.

Example: Make a DB2 Resource the Child of a CICSD Resource

You want to make a DB2 started task the child of a CICSD resource.

To define the relationship

1. Enter R beside the CICSD resource in the resource list.

   The Existing Relationships List panel displays. The following panel shows that JES2 is defined as a parent of CICSD:

    SOLVPROD----- ResourceView : CICSD Existing Relationships List ---EASTTEST-0001
    Command ===>                                                   Scroll ===> 10
   
                  R=Existing Related UP=Unlink Primary UA=Unlink Alternate U=Unlink
        Name               System Image Class  Primary Alternate                   
        JES2               EASTTEST0001 STC    PARENT
        CICSD              EASTTEST0001 STC    SELF    SELF
        **END**
   

2. Press F11 (Relate).

   A selection list of the resource classes is displayed.

3. Enter S beside the STC class.

    SOLVPROD-------- Automation Services : Resource Class List --------------------
    Command ===>                                                   Scroll ===> 10
   
                         Use 'S' to select class(es) from which to relate resources
        Class    Description
        DASD     Direct Access Device
        INIT     JES Initiator
        INTNL    Automation Services Internal
        JES      Job Entry Subsystem
        JOB      Batch Job
        LINE     JES Line
        PRT      Printer
        SPOOL    JES Spool
    s   STC      Started Task
        SVC      Service
        TAPE     Tape or Cartridge
        USRCLS   User Class Resource
   

   A list of all started tasks in the system appears.

4. Enter C next to a DB2 resource to define it as a child of CICSD.

    SOLVPROD---------- ResourceView : Relate Resources to CICSD -------EASTTEST-0001
    Command ===>                                                   Scroll ===> 10
   
          P=Parent PP=Primary Parent AP=Alternate Parent UP=Unlink Primary U=Unlink
          C=Child  PC=Primary Child  AC=Alternate Child  UA=Unlink Alternate       
        Name               System Image Class  Primary Alternate                   
        JES2               EASTTEST0001 STC    PARENT
        CICSD              EASTTEST0001 STC    SELF    SELF
        BACKUP             EASTTEST0001 STC
    c   DB2                EASTTEST0001 STC
        DFHSM              EASTTEST0001 STC
   

   The updated list of resource relationships appears. The relationships show CICSD as the parent and DB2 as the child.
