z/OS Projects view

Use the z/OS Projects view to work with local and remote z/OS® projects and MVS and z/OS UNIX subprojects.
The z/OS Projects view shows all local and remote z/OS projects you defined and their MVS and z/OS UNIX subprojects. It also includes any host-based projects that might be added to the view when you connect to a remote system. If the view contains no projects, you can click a link in the view to create a z/OS project, create an MVS subproject, import a z/OS project, or open help for z/OS projects.
By using this view, you can accomplish the following tasks:
  • Create and delete projects and subprojects.
  • Rebuild projects and subprojects, which compiles all code in the project.
  • Build specific project content, which compiles the code that is contained in a partitioned data set member.
  • Allocate partitioned and sequential data sets.
  • Start an edit session for a specific file or partitioned data set member.
  • Move, copy, rename, and delete files or partitioned data set members.
  • Add and remove remote files in a subproject.
  • Check the syntax or dependencies of a file or partitioned data set member.
  • Run executable files.
  • Import and export projects so that you can share them with others.
  • Work with the property groups associated with subprojects or files to set build options.
  • Access other Developer for z/OS tools for working with z/OS resources, such as debug tools, team tools, File Manager tools, Enterprise Service Tools, and data tools.
The view also provides several toolbar functions that allow for control of the contents of the view itself. These tools are accessible from the menu at the top of the view.
