How Parent-Child Relationships Between Resources Work

The region uses the relationships between resources during automated system startup and shutdown to determine the order in which to start or stop resources.

There are two parties to a relationship: parent and child.

During automated operation, a parent must be active before dependent resources (its children) may be started. For example, JES must be active before CICS may be started.

Similarly, a parent cannot be stopped automatically unless all its children are inactive.
