You configure host-based projects for a remote system by
creating a set of configuration files on that system.
When a user connects to a remote system on which these configuration
files are present and set up correctly, the z/OS® Projects view is populated with host-based
projects. The user is not able to create workstation-based projects
associated with that system. On systems where the configuration files
are not present, the client does not have access to host-based projects
but can create their own workstation-based projects associated with
the system.
To configure host-based projects on a remote system,
you need to define five types of configuration files. See the Related
Tasks for instructions and examples.
- A root configuration file that resides in a known location
and points to the location of the other configuration files.
- Project instance files that are specific to a single user
ID and point to reusable project definition files.
- Project and subproject definition files that define
the structure and contents of the project and can be reused by multiple
users.
- Properties files that define the subproject properties
and can be reused by multiple subprojects.
