The Remote System Explorer
is a perspective that provides an interface for managing remote systems
using conventions that are similar to ISPF. As you work in this perspective,
you can:
- Define and connect to remote systems
- Manage your connections
- View lists of resources
- Add or modify file mappings
- Allocate or delete data sets
- Create or delete members
- Edit text
- Submit JCL
- Submit TSO commands
- Add or modify job filters
To open the Remote System Explorer, if it is not already
open when you start up, do these steps:
- In the workbench, select Window > Open Perspective
> Other. .
- Click Remote System Explorer.
- Click OK. The Remote System Explorer opens.
The Remote System Explorer contains the following views:
- Remote Systems view
- Properties view
- Outline view
- Tasks view
- z/OS® File System Mapping
view
- Team view
- Remote Scratchpad view
- Remote Systems Details view
You can close views and open views to customize the perspective.
To close a view, click the Close button marked with an X in
the upper right corner of the view.
If you close a view, you can open the view again. To open
one of the
default views that has been closed:
- In the workbench, select Window > Show View.
A menu that lists the default views associated with the Remote Systems
perspective is displayed.
- 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:
- In the workbench, select Window > Show View > Other. Folders
are listed for each perspective defined in the workbench.
- Search through the folders until you find the view you want to
open.
- 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:
- In the workbench, select Window > Save Perspective
As.
- 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.
