Attaching a menu to JES jobs by using Menu Manager

You can attach a base menu to all JES jobs. You can also attach a default menu to all JES jobs that do not have a menu that is assigned to them.

Before you begin

Before you can do this task, you must create a menu that contains actions.

JES jobs are listed in the Remote Systems view.

To attach a menu to JES jobs, complete the following steps:

Click Window (on Windows) or IBM® Developer for z/OS® (on macOS) > Preferences.
The Preferences window opens.
In the Preferences window, double-click Menu Manager, and select Menu Selection.
The Menu Selection preference window opens.
Select the JES Jobs in Remote Systems view context.
From the Base File Menus list, select the menu that you want to attach to all JES jobs as the base menu.
The list contains all of the menus that are available in the Menu Manager.
After you assign a base file menu, this menu is displayed for all JES jobs. Actions on the base JES job menu display first in the pop-up menu, followed by actions from the default or custom menu.
To save your selections and close the Preferences window, click OK.

The selected base and (optionally) default menus are now attached to pop-up menus for JES jobs.

In the Remote Systems view, select a JES job and check the menu to make sure that the expected Menu Manager actions are available.
