Problem:

CICS definitions are normally held in a CICS CSD file which is exported as text by using DFHCSDUP utility.

How do you export CICS definitions from CICSPlex environment to import them in Mainframe Express?

Resolution:

CICSPlex SM is not currently supported in Mainframe Express. And even if you extract the resource definition, they are not fully compatible with the standard CICS resource definitions used in the product.

Resources owned by other CICS regions must either be marked as such in their definitions or have SYSID(…) coded when accessed. If these are marked as above you could try using the resource definitions in the normal way.

You will need to convert the extracted CICSPlex resource definitions in a format that the Mainframe Express product will understand.
