  ***************************************************************
  Rational Developer for System z (RDz) 9.0: Invoking HATS RCP
  application from an editor for a remote file does not run work
  
  
  APAR Error Description (unlimited lines of 64 chars):
  ***************************************************************
  Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.0: the HATS RCP
  application does not run properly when invoked from an open
  editor session for a remote file.
  
  Recreation steps:
  - create a simple HATS macro
  - exported the HATS plug-in,
  - create a new action using the Menu Manager preferences in RDz
  - from the RSE view, select a member, the action works fine
  - open a COBOL program, or a JCL file, right click and select
  the new action: nothing happens. No error logged.

Local fix

Problem summary

• The HATS integration code was not properly obtaining the
  hostname, userid or password for the remote object so that it
  could be used by the HATS RCP application to connect to the
  proper host.
  There is no local workaround.
  

Problem conclusion

• The HATS integration code was modified to recognize this
  scenario and obtain the appropriate connection information from
  the selected object (the remote file being edited).
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1 Refresh Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
