Rational Developer for System z

Creating an MVS subproject

MVS™ subprojects contain the development resources that reside on an MVS system. You can create multiple subprojects in a z/OS® project.

Before you begin

Before you create an MVS subproject, you need to create a z/OS project.

Procedure

To create an MVS subproject:

  1. From the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view pop-up menu, click New > MVS Subproject. The New MVS Subproject wizard opens. The Connection Name field shows the name of the z/OS system to which you are connected.
  2. If you are connected to more than one system, you can change the system under which the subproject is created by selecting the system from the Connection Name list.
  3. If you are not connected to a remote system, you can create a connection by selecting Create New Connection from the Connection Name list. The Remote z/OS System Connection wizard opens. See the related links for instructions for using this wizard. After this wizard is completed, it returns you to the New MVS Subproject wizard.
  4. From the Project Name list, select the z/OS project to contain this subproject. This field defaults to the project name selected when you clicked the New > MVS Subproject action.
  5. In the Subproject Name field, type a name for the new subproject. The High-level Qualifier defaults to the user ID with which you logged on to the remote system.
  6. Optional: You can choose a different high-level qualifier from the High-level Qualifier list.
    Note: You can also change the high-level qualifier after the subproject has been created. See the related topics for more information about how to change a subproject's high-level qualifier.
  7. Optional: In the Runtime Environment field select a runtime environment to associate with the subproject. The runtime environment is used to associate runtime-specific actions with projects and subprojects. You can choose from the following runtime environments:
    • Any: Enables all project and subproject actions. This runtime environment is the default.
    • Batch: This option is reserved for future use.
    • CICS: Enables CICS® actions and disables other runtime-specific actions.
    • IMS: This option is reserved for future use.
  8. From the Property group area, choose one of the following options:
    • Select a property group to associate with the new subproject: Click this radio button and then select a property group for the new subproject. You can sort the list by clicking the table headings. To reverse the sort order, click the table headings again.
    • Create a new property group and associate it with the subproject. Click Finish to edit the property group: Click this radio button to create a new property group for the subproject. Type a name for the group in the Name field and then click Finish to set property values.
    • Do not associate the subproject with a property group: Click this radio button to create the subproject without associating it with a property group.
  9. Click Finish to create the subproject using the property group selected. If you created a new remote system connection, the wizard prompts you to log on to the system

What to do next

If you choose not to associate a property group with the subproject, you can make an association later. To associate a property group with the subproject, select the subproject and click Property Group > Associate Property Group.
