Running the System z system definitions generator

Running the System z system definitions generator.

Procedure

  1. Expand your project node.
  2. Select the setuprtcz.xml file, and then click Run As > Ant Build.
    Note: The setuprtcz.xml is the name of the file that is included in the sample project. If you write your own file, make sure that you give it the .xml file extension.
  3. The system definitions generator stores data set definitions, translators, and language definitions in a project area with a corresponding stream. The repository workspace defines the corresponding stream as the incoming flow stream. If you want to create data set definitions, translators, or language definitions in a different project area, select the Properties tab, clear the check box for Use global properties as specified in the Ant runtime preferences, and then indicate the following properties:
    • repositoryAddress is your URL.
    • userid is your System z® user ID.
    • password is your System z password.
    • projectArea is the name of your project area.
      Note: You can define data set definitions, translators, and language definitions for different project areas in the same team repository. For more information, see Creating build definitions or ResolveMetadata task.
  4. Select the JRE tab, and then select Run in the same JRE as the workspace.
  5. Click Apply, and then Run.
    When the system definitions generator runs successfully, required data set definitions, translators, and language definitions are created. The files in your selected projects are updated to point to the new definitions.
  6. Go to the Pending Changes view and verify your changes to those files.
  7. Go to the Work Items perspective, right-click your project area, and click Refresh.
    In the Team Artifacts view, your new data set definitions, language definitions, and translators are displayed in your project area.
