Z Understand Visual Studio Code Command Palette

After you install and set up the IBM® watsonx Code Assistant™ for Z Understand Visual Studio Code extension, you can perform the Z Understand commands that are available in the Command Palette.

To open the Command Palette, select View > Command Palette from the Visual Studio Code menu. You can start the following Z Understand commands from the Command Palette:
  • Z Understand: Getting Started: This command opens a walk-through that helps you learn how to use the Z Understand Visual Studio Code extension.
  • Z Understand: Reset Server Connection: This command resets your server connection and clears the cached data. Use this command if you cannot see the updated data in the closure graph after rebuilding an analysis project. After you run the command, you will sign in to Z Understand again and be prompted to choose a Z Understand project as if you are signing in for the first time.
  • Z Understand: Cleanup Data from Recordings: This command synchronizes the applied recording files. Use this command if the recording data gets out of sync with the Z Understand server.
  • Z Understand: Import Streamline Sample Programs to Workspace: This command imports or copies the sample COBOL programs into a samples folder in the workspace. When you run the streamline program structure process on one of the sample programs using agentic-chat, it initiates the following processing flow:
    • It generates control flow information for the file before the streamline.
    • It generates control flow information for the file after the streamline.
    • It compares both data sets and determines whether the program logic is preserved by the streamline process.
