Overview of the Rational Team Concert for System z mass import tool

Use the mass import tool to import members from multiple partitioned data sets (PDS) on a z/OS® system into Rational Team Concert™ for System z® source control.

You can set up the import process using options and mapping files that automatically create the required project structure and data set definitions. You can also associate members with language definitions. A language definition describes how members are built by specifying preprocessing tasks and setting the correct compiler and compiler options.

The mass import tool is intended to be used by project administrators who are responsible for setting up version and source control systems.

The import process automatically creates a new repository workspace that contains projects, called zComponent projects, in which your PDS members are organized and stored. You can use a mapping file to define a more detailed project structure before you run the import command. With a mapping file, you can specify which PDS members should be placed in which zComponent projects and subfolders, called zFolders. The mapping file also specifies which component will contain each zComponent project. You can also use the mapping file to associate fully qualified PDS member names to a language definition that you previously created.

Run the mass import tool from the Rational Team Concert for System z command line interface (CLI) using the zimport subcommand of the SCM command. The SCM command is found in the following directory:@pathPrefix@/usr/lpp/jazz/v2.0/scmtools/eclipse, where @pathPrefix@ is any path prefix specified during the SMP/E installation. After you import the PDS members, they are contained by a zComponent project in the newly created repository workspace.
