CICS Files

CICS enables online access to files.

You can create a CICS file resource definition to manage a file.

For a file that is shared between several CICS regions, you can create a definition for each of the regions.

For a remote file, you can create the following definitions:

• CICS link resource definitions that manage the link between the CICS region and the CICS region that owns the file
• A CICS file resource definition for the CICS region that owns the file
