Use of host-based projects allows project structure and behavior to be tightly controlled by an administrator on the remote system since certain actions are disabled for host-based projects. Renaming or deleting projects and subprojects, for example, adding or removing subproject members, and creating new remote projects or subprojects associated with host-based project systems are actions that have been disabled for host-based projects.
Because host-based projects are defined in a central location and downloaded to a workstation, there are some differences between how you use host-based projects and how you use workstation-based projects:
Whether projects are host- or workstation-based is controlled by the z/OS system. If you connect to multiple remote systems, your workspace may contain both host- and workstation-based projects.
