Rational Developer for System z

z/OS Projects perspective

Use the z/OS Projects perspective to define, connect, and work with remote systems, as well as to create, edit, and build projects, subprojects, and files on remote UNIX, Linux for System z®, and z/OS® systems.

The z/OS Projects perspective is shipped with the Developer for System z with EGL and Developer for System z with Java™ editions of Rational® Developer for System z. If you are using the Developer for zEnterprise® edition of Rational Developer for System z, see Enterprise Development perspective.

The z/OS Projects perspective contains the following views:
  • Remote Systems view
  • z/OS Projects view
  • Properties view
  • Outline view
  • Remote Error List view
  • z/OS File System Mapping view
  • Remote System Details view
  • Team view
  • Property Group Manager view
  • Snippets view
You can close views and open views to customize the perspective.
If you close a view, you can open the view again. To open one of the default views that has been closed:
  1. In the workbench, select Window > Show View. A menu that lists the default views associated with the z/OS Projects perspective is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the view you want to open.
To open a view that is not a default for the perspective you are working in, you have to determine the perspective that contributes the view:
  1. In the workbench, select Window > Show View > Other. Folders are listed for each perspective defined in the workbench.
  2. Search through the folders until you find the view you want to open.
  3. Click the name of the view you want to open.
When you have a custom mix of default and other views you would like to use repeatedly based on a given perspective, you can save this customized perspective:
  1. In the workbench, select Window > Save Perspective As.
  2. Type a name for your customized perspective in the Name field.
You can now open, close, and reset the customized perspective to the default configuration you defined when you saved the customized perspective.
