Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel

The Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel provides a list of the configured RTEs in the PARMGEN global library and a set of actions you can perform on selected RTEs or on all RTEs in the library.

You access the Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel by typing a question mark in the RTE_NAME field of the Workflow menu.

The panel displays the name of each RTE; the libraries it shares with other RTEs, if any; whether or not the RTE loads the shared libraries; whether or not variables are enabled in the RTE. Optionally, a description of the RTEs can be displayed.

From this panel, you can perform the following actions.

Single RTE actions
The following actions can be performed on a single selected RTE by typing the action character next to the RTE name:
S or /
Switch to an RTE. Use this action to select a different RTE to reconfigure using the Workflow panels. After you enter your selection, you are returned to the main panel.
P
Display a list of the products and components. Use this action, for example, to find an RTE you want to clone.
D
Delete an RTE.
Multiple RTE actions
You can perform the following actions on one or more selected RTEs:
L
Copy read-only files from the SMP/E target libraries to the user runtime libraries.
W
Copy files from the WK* work libraries to the user RK* libraries.
Global RTE commands
You can perform the following actions by typing the indicated command on the command line:
LOADALL
Copy read-only files from the SMP/E target libraries to the user runtime libraries for all listed RTEs.
W2RALL
Copy files from the WK* work libraries to the user RK* libraries for all list RTEs.
SHOWDESC/HIDEDESC
Display or hide descriptions of all RTEs.
