Subject: CICS TS 5.3 migr after DFHCSDUP UPGRADE to use DFHCSDUP SCAN
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2016 10:58 pm (GMT 5.5)
Hi,
I am migrating a CICS TS 4.1 region to CICS TS 5.3. I have completed the CSD UPGRADE step (a copied version of the V4.1 CSD) as outlined on page 130 of the CICS TS V5.3 Upgrading manual.
The next step on page 131 indicates to "Upgrade user-modified, CICS-supplied resource definitions" using the DFHCSDUP SCAN command.
I had hoped this will be as simple as running the DFHCSDUP with just the SCAN option against the UPGRADEd CSD and it would tell me what all needs to be modified that the UPGRADE didn't do. BUT...It appears it requires to know each and every type and specific name to do a SCAN for.
I am new to this company and the previous CICS person retired before I started. How can I possibly know each and every user-modified resource name to scan for.
Is there a much simpler method to accomplish this step with or without the SCAN option?
Thanks,
Kyle.
