Connecting to an AD project

Learn how to connect to an AD project in the IBM® watsonx Code Assistant™ for Z Refactoring Assistant Visual Studio Code extension.

After you open a Visual Studio Code workspace, complete the following steps to connect to an AD project:

  1. Click the Accounts icon from the Activity Bar on the left side of the Visual Studio Code window.
  2. Select the Sign in with IBM ADDI to use IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z Refactoring Assistant Visual Studio Code option from the Accounts view.
  3. When a Z Refactoring Assistant view opens with a login screen, enter your login credentials to continue.
  4. Choose an AD project from the Select AD project quick pick dialog. An "Artifact search" dialog is displayed in the Z Refactoring Assistant view.
    Note: The Z Refactoring Assistant view maintains a connection to the Z Refactoring Assistant server and must remain open while working with AD artifacts. If the view is closed, you can reconnect by signing in again.
