Creating special resources

Creating special resources

This chapter explains special resources, and shows you how to create and use them. There are three types of resources:

Special resources: These resources are the most flexible. Create them using the panel that is described in this chapter.
Workstation fixed resources: These resources, called by default R1 and R2, are owned by one workstation only. A common use is for tape pools, but you cannot share these between workstations, so you might have problems if a computer workstation and a started task workstation share the same tape drives. Specify them using the workstation panel.
Parallel servers: These resources represent the number of operations that can be simultaneously started on computer workstations running the z/OS® operating system. Specify them using the workstation panel.
