Rational Developer for System z

Importing and exporting z/OS projects

You can share z/OS® projects with others by exporting them from your workspace and importing them into another's workspace.

About this task

Rational® Developer for System z® enables you to share workstation-based (as opposed to host-based) z/OS projects with other users by exporting them to an archive file, placing the archive file in some accessible location, and then importing the archive file into another workspace. When you export a z/OS project, the archive file contains the complete project: properties, definitions, subprojects, and resources. When the project is then imported into another workspace, it is identical to the original project, with the possible exception of the project name and subproject high-level qualifier.
Note: Exporting and importing z/OS projects apply to workstation-based z/OS projects only. These actions are not valid for local projects or host-based projects. z/OS UNIX subprojects use a different mechanism for import and export and are not included in an exported z/OS project. See the related topics for information about exporting and importing z/OS UNIX subprojects.
