Disabling function by using Eclipse Capabilities

When CICS Explorer® first starts, all functional components are available to use by default. However, you can use the Eclipse Capabilities function to disable or enable components, and so limit the function available to use.

CICS Explorer has two capabilities that are defined: CICS® Application Development, and CICS System Administration. Each capability enables or disables the function that a typical user would use. For example, a CICS Application Developer would probably not use the Administration views. So by clearing the CICS System Administration capability, the Administration functions and views are disabled.

About this task

Use the Preferences Capabilities window to disable or enable the capabilities:

Procedure

  1. Click Window > Preferences on the CICS Explorer menu bar to open the Preferences window.
  2. Expand General in the contents pane and click Capabilities.
  3. Select, or clear, the capability you want to enable or disable and click OK to save your changes and close the window.

Results

The views and functions that are available depend on the capabilities you selected.
