Associating a property group with a resource

You can assign a new property group as the current property group for a resource.

About this task

Assigning a property group to a resource associates the property values in the group with the resource. This action is a good way to set or change the property values for a resource because it enables you to maintain consistency across your projects, subprojects, or data sets. If you decide a different set of properties is more suitable for your purposes, you can use this action to change the current property group for a resource.
Note: Changing the property group association for a resource deletes any property overrides for that resource.

Procedure

To assign a property group to a resource:

  1. From the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view or the Remote Systems view, select the MVS Files node, an MVS™ subproject, a data set or data set member, or a local COBOL or PL/I project, directory, or file.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select Property Group > Associate Property Group. The Associate Property Group window opens. The table view displays property groups that have been defined for the system. You can sort the list by clicking the table headings. To reverse the sort order, click the table headings again.
  3. Select the check box beside a property group to be used as the current property group for the resource and click OK.
