If the Telnet login information is different from the CIFS login information, click the Telnet tab and make the required changes.
Note: Values entered for the Telnet login are duplicated for the CIFS login. You can change any values on the Telnet tab as needed, including the host.
Click OK.
The connection name created appears in the OS 2200 Connection Name list.
Note: The associated OS 2200 host name and user-id are displayed as additional information. Refer to Configuring Host Accounts and Connections for more information.
Select one of the following options to specify a work file:
Use standard OS 2200 Share (os2200)
This option indicates that a share is mapped to the os2200 MFD (/os2200 through CIFS) on the ClearPath OS 2200 system. The share name is “os2200” (case sensitive).
Use a non-standard name for os2200 share
This option indicates that a share is mapped to the os2200 MFD (/os2200 through CIFS), but it has a client defined name instead of os2200.
Note: If you are using an OS 2200 shared file, go to step 8.
If the work file already exists, enter the name in the OS 2200 Work File box in qualifier*file format and go to step 11.
If your site uses MHFS and you have configured the Telnet connection for it, select the type of work file (STD# or Shared#) and enter the name in the OS 2200 Work File box directly.
Click Create New Work File to create a new work file. Refer to Creating a New Work File for more information.
The new work file is displayed in the OS 2200 Work File box.
The Enter share of workfile on OS 2200 box is enabled.
Note: This option applies if you have a share mapped to an individual OS 2200 file. Use this to provide the access rights to a specific work files on the OS 2200 system that might have different access requirements to other projects to the same host. See Mapping a Share to Workfile for steps to follow.
Type the work file share name in the Enter share of workfile on OS 2200 box.
Click Next.
The Set the build runstream and breakpoint files list for this project page is displayed.
The Add Elements dialog box is displayed. Initially the Project Contents Link (OS 2200 Elements) in the right pane is empty.
Select the elements listed in the left pane.
Note: The date and time when the TOC was last refreshed are displayed.
Click the right triangle button to move the elements from left pane to right pane.
Before moving elements to the Project Contents Link area, you can change the element type (editor type) or character conversion.
Change Element Type Before Addition of Elements
To change the element type and character conversion, perform the following steps:
Select the element.
Under Add element attributes, select the element type from the Editor list.
Select the character type from the Character Conversion list.
Click right triangle button.
The elements move to the Project Contents Link area. The editor type and character conversion type are displayed in parentheses.
Change Element Type After Addition of Elements
To change the element type or character conversion after it is added to the Project Contents Link (OS 2200 Element) area, perform the following steps:
Select the element.
Under Change element attributes, select the element type from the Editor list and the character type from the Character Conversion list.
Click Change.
The element type is changed.
Remove Element
To remove elements from the project, perform the following steps:
Select one or more elements from the Project Contents Link (OS 2200 Element) list.
Click left triangle button.
The element is removed from the project.
Click Finish.
Elements that are added to the project will be downloaded to the cache. The performance of the files handled within Eclipse improves since they are on a local system. The element icons that are not downloaded to the cache appear yellow while the downloaded element icons appear white. The TOC is maintained within the project folder. Once the TOC is fetched, it updates the cached TOC list. The TOC contains the list of all the elements in the work-file on the OS 2200 system. You have to click on Refresh to fetch the latest TOC from the OS 2200 system.
For performance improvement, the elements are locally cached. The element contents are downloaded from the OS 2200 system when
Elements are included in the project while creating the project or while updating the project. This is done in the background.
The user tries to open the element that is not downloaded. This operation will take precedence over the background download.
Restarting OS 2200 Eclipse.
An icon is used to show the synchronization state of an element. The different states are:
|
Indicates that the version in the cache is not synchronized with the OS 2200 system. This means, either the element is modified locally or on the OS 2200 system or both. |
|
Indicates that the element is synchronized with the OS 2200 system. |
|
Indicates that the element is an uninitialized file and should or will be downloaded. |
Notes:
If the network fails, downloading of an element stops and restarts from where it stopped when the network reconnects.
Double-clicking an element that is not downloaded retrieves the content from the OS 2200 system and opens in the editor. This will get higher priority compared to the background downloading.
Elements without proper access rights cannot be downloaded. Double-clicking these elements displays an error message stating the reason for not downloading and opening them in the editor. Once you provide the access rights, you can download the elements by double-clicking on them. These elements can also be downloaded by restarting Eclipse.
If you are not in the OS 2200 perspective, you will be prompted for permission to change. Click Yes.
Note: Ensure that you are in OS 2200 perspective before you begin working on any OS 2200 project.
The versions for the elements in the OS 2200 project are separated by a hyphen (- ), not by a slash (/). The versions that are recognized as supported editor types are displayed with a period (.). For example, the element ABC/XYZ is displayed as ABC-XYZ in the OS 2200 project, and the element ABC/COB is displayed as ABC.COB. The version is shown correctly with a '/' for the OS 2200 File Explorer view, provided the file input that you specify is in the standard OS 2200 format.
Given a work file named “q*f.” map a share to the work file, as follows:
@CIFSUT
Share /os2200/q/f sharef
@eof
The file q*f. is now visible outside the OS 2200 by the share name sharef.
To configure host accounts and connections, refer to Using Host Manager View.
If you are using the fundamental security option (that is, you specified a direct share to the work file), the Brkpt Files tab contains the program file that serves as the staging file for the analysis of the breakpoint files. By default, this is the work file share specified on the first page of the wizard.
The actual breakpoint files are copied to this program file and shared as elements and then are brought to the workstation for analysis and viewing.
