Defining Content Types and File Association for RDz
Over the years, many clients have developed their own programming practices and naming standards to reinforce company policies. When editing workstation source files (COBOL or PL/I) with non-standard file extensions, the file extensions have to be defined to Eclipse in order to be recognized by the Rational Developer for System z (RDz) editors. This technical blog will further describe in detail the steps involved for adding the file extensions to Eclipse's general "Content Types".
5. Scroll down the list of Text file associations and select "PL/I Source File"

Customizing RDz remote searchIBM Rational Developer for System Z (RDz) has a powerful search capability which does more than the traditional ISPF one. The drawback in the current RDz releases is that it can consume more CPU as well. If you are in this situation, technote 1636415 can help. The technote gives an example on how to customize RDz client to perform a quick search on z/OS. It uses a custom Eclipse plugin together with the z/OS SUPERC command and consumes little CPU.
I hope this helps!

Two GRUG webcasts this week
Don't miss your opportunity to sign up for two great Global Rational User Group (GRUG) webcasts this week! Can't attend the live webcast? Register to be notified when the replay becomes available.
June 28: Architecting Smarter Banking Solutions with IBM CICS and Rational Tools - Register here June 29: Collaborative Design Management with Rational Software Architect and Rational Rhapsody - Register here Architecting Smarter Banking Solutions with IBM CICS and Rational Tools Webcast date: Tuesday, June 28, 2011; 11:00 AM ET Description: Update GRUG on latest CICS and RDz solutions with focus on Banking sector. Financial institutions are facing tremendous challenges to adapt, yet often have siloed and constrained legacy systems that are not well suited to a world that is flatter, riskier, and smarter. Watch how the New features in CICS and Rational Developer for System z facilitate adapting existing systems to leverage modern SOA, Web 2.0 and mobile technologies, to achieve flexibility and speed development while still maintaining best practice architectural principals. Utilizing these new features can be easy and non-invasive to the existing systems, so you can adapt while maintaining stability and robustness. Come see how new updates from Rational and CICS support implementing. Speakers: Catherine Moxey is an IBM Senior Technical Staff Member in CICS Strategy and Planning Dave Myers is the System z Application Development Tools Product Line Manager Sign up for this webcast now to attend live or to be notified when replay becomes available. Collaborative Design Management with Rational Software Architect and Rational Rhapsody Webcast date: Wednesday, June 29, 2011; 11:00 AM ET Description: Software and system architecture and designs help resolve the inherent complexity of intelligent, interconnected and instrumented solutions, but there are numerous challenges that go beyond solution complexity. The extended team of subject matter experts is needed to provide insights and feedback on these designs to make sure the solutions meet the right market demands, satisfy customer needs and deliver the expected quality. Everyone from business analysts, stakeholders and other team members need to be involved from the early stages of development. There's also a need to introduce traceability of designs to requirements and work items and ensure the communication and understanding of plans across stakeholders, architects, operations and beyond. Levering the Jazz foundation for collaboration, Rational's Collaborative Design Management capabilities aim to extend Rational Software Architect (RSA) and Rational Rhapsody to allow you and your teams to search, browse, comment, discuss, and review your designs from both the existing rich clients as well as from a new Web client just for design management. Capabilities for linking the design artifacts to other lifecycle artifacts through Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) interfaces and for visualizing those traceability links are also key reasons a CDM solution is right for organizations facing complexity issues of all types. Attend this webcast to learn more about these new capabilities and ask questions directly from our leading experts.
