Finding files on a z/OS system
You can use several tools for searching and locating remote z/OS® resources.
When you search a z/OS system by using the Search menu item, the default search window is Remote z/OS Search:
You can change the default to the Remote z/OS File Search window by
setting the -DDEFAULT_REMOTE_ZOS_FILE_SEARCH=true parameter in the
zee.env configuration file. For more information about setting parameters in
zee.env, see zee.env, the environment configuration file in the
Host Configuration Guide.
