Configuring analysis output location

Once the launcher is set up, specify the data set where the IBM® watsonx Code Assistant™ for Z Code Optimization Advice output will be stored. This data set is used to open analysis output files like the statement performance table.

About this task

At least one data set must be configured to display analysis output data in the VS Code editor menus. This task follows the launcher setup, ensure that either the Single system launcher setup or the Multi-system launcher setup are complete.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the VS Code extension settings for Z Code Optimization Advice.
    This displays the analysis output location setting.
  2. Select Add Item.
    This opens a text input field for a data set name.
  3. Once the launcher is set up, specify the data set where you want to store the Z Code Optimization Advice analysis output and select Add. This entry should match the data set name specified in the OUTPUT= field of the launcher JCL.
    The data set is added to the list of analysis output file locations. Z Code Optimization Advice reads from this list to open analysis output files.
    Multiple data sets can be added.
    Note: Wildcards can be used to simplify this process.
    For example, instead of specifying:
    USER.COA.OUTPUT1
    USER.COA.OUTPUT2
    USER.COA.OUTPUT3
    You can use a wildcard:
    USER.COA.*
    Z Code Optimization Advice parses all data sets following the wildcard.
