Rational Developer for System z

Enterprise Development perspective

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

The Enterprise Development perspective is shipped with the Developer for zEnterprise® edition of Rational® Developer for System z. The Enterprise Development perspective provides functions that are equivalent to the z/OS Projects perspective, but makes these functions available for AIX, Linux, Linux on System z, Power Linux, and z/OS remote systems. It replaces the z/OS Projects view with an Enterprise Projects view, which provides the same function as the z/OS Projects view and adds support for AIX COBOL and AIX C/C++ projects. It also adds a Remote Reconciler view, which helps you manage the associations between your C/C++ projects and their corresponding remote locations.

Throughout the Rational Developer for System z helps, references to the z/OS Projects perspective apply equally to the Enterprise Development perspective.

Note: If you are using the Developer for System z with EGL or Developer for System z with Java™ edition, see z/OS Projects perspective.
The Enterprise Development perspective contains the following views:
  • Remote Systems view
  • Enterprise Projects view
  • Remote Reconciler 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 Systems 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.
