#### Usage

zowe ca7 job-definition update-shared-resource_1 [options]

#### Required Options

- `--job` (string)

  - Specifies the job name on which the indicated function is performed.
    Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

- `--resource-name` | `--rn` (string)

  - Specifies the resource name being connected to the job.
    Limits: 1 to 44 characters, the first character must be non-blank, and no embedded blanks

- `--free` (string)

  - Determines how VRM manages resource availability at job submission and job/step completion.
    Valid values are:
    A = Specifies the resource is only freed if any step in the job abends (abend or condition code checking)

    F = Specifies the resource is freed when job ends, either successfully or unsuccessfully.

    If the step-name parameter is specified, free the resource when the specified step completes, either successfully or unsuccessfully

    N = Specifies do not free the resource at successful job completion.

    The resource can be freed with the PRSCF command. A cancel of the job also frees the resource

    Y = Specifies to free the resource at successful job completion.

    If the step-name parameter is specified, free the resource when the specified step completes successfully (does not abend)

#### Options

- `--schid` (string)

  - (Optional) Specifies the schedule ID (of this job) for which a user requirement is applied.

    A zero default cannot be specified for one connection and a nonzero schedule ID used for a subsequent connection to the same job with the same user requirement description.
    An attempt to make such a connection results in an error message.
    Default: 0, which indicates that the requirement holds for all schedule IDs
    Limits: 1 to 3 numeric characters from 0 through 999

- `--step-name` | `--sn` (string)

  - (Optional) Specifies the resource is freed at the conclusion of the named job step.
    Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters
    Notes:The step-name parameter applies to the first occurrence of the stepname that is encountered in the job stream.

    This includes any reference to the stepname embedded in a PROC.

    The only valid stepname would be for steps with PGM= coded, not for stepnames executing a PROC

    If a job is restarted in a step after this step-name, the resource does not go through free processing until the job completes

    A step flush condition does not post the step-name process
