Gururaj,

Please remember to post as many details as possible as it will avoid the guesswork. If you have posted the error code it be easier to debug the error.

Any way how are you adding the resource definitions? Are you using CEDA OR running the DFHCSDUP batch utility? when you say you have deleted the old entries, are you sure that they are physically deleted? You cannot delete the group itself; it ceases to exist only when it contains no resource definitions. Also check if your vsam CSD File has enough space.

Check this link for a detailed explanation of Setting up the CICS system definition data set

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Also check how the CSD is defined (with CEMT I DFHCSD) - are updates even allowed, is the CSD defined in the SYSIN Parameters or in the Job?

If the CSD is genuinely full and you just want to expand it (when it is not allocated to CICS) just create a new VSAM file modelled on the existing one but with more space. Then copy the contents from the old csd to the new one, and rename the datasets appropriately. No special considerations or CICS utilities required. No need to initialize the new CSD or anything. You can use e.g. FILEAID or IDCAMS to perform the VSAM operations. If you're not a CICS sysprog yourself (I assume not) then you will probably need to get your CICS sysprogs to do this for you.
