Customizing Remote Systems Explorer

If you plan to use IBM® Rational® Developer for System z's Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) to invoke the gateway, the RSE environment file must be customized. The environment file for your RSE connection is rsed.envvars which, by default, is in /etc/rdz.

These environment variables used by the gateway should already have been defined in rsed.envvars during base RSE customization:

_CMDSERV_BASE_HOME
_CMDSERV_CONF_HOME
_CMDSERV_WORK_HOME

These following changes are required to the rsed.envvars file:

If the gateway modules (see Table 1) are not in the LINKLIST, then update the STEPLIB environment variable value to include the load library data sets containing these modules.
