Creating property groups and associating them with resources
enables you to easily change property values for various uses.
About this task
To create a new property group, do these steps:
Procedure
- From the Property Group Manager view,
select a system, open the pop-up menu and click New Property
Group. The Property Group Editor opens.
This editor contains a series of tabs that open each page of the editor.
- Type a name and description for the new property group. For example, to create a property group that contains property
values for debugging COBOL programs, you might type DebugCOBOL for
the name and Properties for debugging COBOL programs for
the description.
- Click the Categories tab and select
the check boxes beside the categories for which you want to enter
values for this property group. You can choose from the
following categories:
- Assembler Settings
- COBOL Settings
- C/C++ Settings
- PL/I Settings
- BMS Settings
- MFS Settings
- JCL Job Card and Data Set
- Link Options
- Runtime Options
- File Manager Settings
The selections you make on this page determine the property
tabs that appear in the editor. As you select or clear check boxes,
the corresponding tabs are added or removed from the editor.
- Select each property category tab to open the property
page for that category.
- On each property category page, specify property values
to be included in the property group.
- When you close the Property Group Editor, Rational® Developer for System z® prompts you to save
your changes. The name and description display in
the Property Group Manager view. If you do not
save your changes, the property group is not created.
