When you work with resources that are hosted on an Endevor Remote System, security
restrictions might prevent you from seeing the contents of those resources in the Editor view.
IBM® AD Analyze is able to generate all the analyses for
those resources, but to view their contents in the Editor view, you must set
up a connection to the Endevor Remote System.
Before you begin
When the users work with mainframe resources of Endevor type, in order to view the contents of
the resources in the Editor view they must set up a
CARMA
connection.
Note: To set up a CARMA connection,
you need to have the CARMA feature installed on IBM Developer for z Systems® (IDz). During the installation process of IBM AD Analyze Client the Application
Discovery integration with Common Access Repository Manager (CARMA) feature needs to be
selected.
Let’s assume you already have a project with sources brought from a remote mainframe system
using the Endevor feature. You generate a graph, you select an element from the graph, and you want
to see the contents of the selected resource in the Editor view. Right-click and from the shortcut
menu select View Analysis Source.
If you didn't create a CARMA connection to the remote
mainframe system, a warning message informs you that the selected resource cannot be accessed.
If you created one or several CARMA connections to the
remote mainframe system, a list of available connections is displayed. Select which connection you
want to use in order to view the contents the selected resource in the Editor view. The tooltip of
the Editor view displays the details of the CARMA
connection that was used to show the contents of the resource.
Below are the steps that must be taken in order to view the resource contents in the
Editor view.
About this task
This task presents the steps that must be performed in
order to see in the Editor view a resource from a remote Endevor system.
Procedure
- Create a project in IBM AD Build and bring
resources from the remote Endevor system:
- In IBM AD Build Client: Create a
project.
- In IBM AD Build
Configuration:
- Create a z/OS® connection.
- Associate the z/OS connection to your project.
- Configure the z/OS connection for the Endevor system (the
ENDEVOR Info tab).
- In IBM AD Build Client:
- Bring resources from the remote Endevor system using the defined z/OS connection.
- Build your project. For details on how to create a project in IBM AD Build Client, and how to bring resources from Endevor systems,
see Managing Application Projects with IBM AD Build.
Once you completed these steps, when you open your IBM AD Analyze Client the new project is available in the
projects list in the Explore projects tab of AD Explore view.
- In your IBM AD Analyze Client, define a CARMA connection to the remote Endevor system. When you set up
the CARMA connection, make sure that to choose a user with
access rights. For details on how to create a connection to a remote system, see the
IDz or RDz documentation. For details on the supported
versions, see Prerequisite Software and Configurations.
- In your IBM AD Analyze Client, locate the
wanted resource using the Explore Project tab and double-click it to display its contents in
the Editor view. Alternatively you can generate a graph and select from the graph the element you
want see in the Editor view. Right-click and from the pop-up menu select
View Analysis Source.
