Setting preferences for Remote z/OS Search

Use the Remote z/OS Search preferences page to set options for remote z/OS® search results.

The Remote z/OS Search view provides controls that help you work with search results more efficiently:
  • A search operation can return search results incrementally so that you can begin working with search results before all results are returned. You can specify how frequently the search results are updated.
  • The Remote z/OS Search view can show you a preview of file contents in a pop-up window. This preview helps you better understand what is in a file before opening it in an editor. You can specify the timing and size of the preview window.
  1. To open the Remote z/OS Search preference page, click Window > Preferences, then expand the Remote Systems > z/OS section and click Remote z/OS Search.
  2. Specify the following options:

    Result update frequency: To specify how frequently search results are updated, slide the control to a higher setting for more frequent updates or to a lower setting for less frequent updates. A higher frequency returns a smaller result set with each update and a lower frequency returns a larger result set with each update.

    Preview contents in Remote z/OS Search view: To enable the preview window, select the check box. To disable the preview window, clear this check box. When this check box is selected, the remaining fields in the Search result preview group are enabled.

    Time in miliseconds until preview is activated: To control the timing of the preview window, type a number in this field. This field controls how quickly the preview window opens after you place the mouse pointer over a result string. The higher the number, the slower the response time.

    Number of lines before current line and Number of lines after current line: To control the size of the preview window, select a number in these fields. You can select a number between 1 and 9.

  3. Click OK to save the preference settings.
