Select the name of an OS 2200 connection from the Connection list.
Note: Optionally click Clear Cache to clear information relating to the selected host from your local system and from the program cache.
Select one of the following Share options, and then provide a share name in the corresponding text box:
Share Name: This option enables you to enter the share name in the corresponding text box.
Note: If you do not enter a share name in the text box, Eclipse IDE for OS 2200 automatically fills in the name of the share as os2200.
Workfile Share: Selecting this
option allows you to enter
the name of the workfile share in the corresponding text box.
Note:
If
you do not enter a share name in the text box, OS 2200
IDE for Eclipse
automatically fills in the name of the share as OS
2200.
From the File group
Select one of the Master
File Directory (MFD) options—STD# (By default, this option
is selected) or SHARED#.
Note:
You can select these options only if you have selected MHFS
while configuring the connection settings of the selected host.
Alternatively, you can type the complete name of the data file
or the source element along with the MFD name in the text box
provided under File in
one of the following formats:
Standard OS 2200 format MFD#Qualifier*Filename(Cycle).Element/Version
POSIX format MFD#Qualifier\Filename(Cycle)\Element.Version
In this case, the MFD name you type in the text box overrides the one you specify using the File options for MFD. You can also specify a non-standard OS 2200 file in the POSIX format.
Note: The first-level element list for the specified host, share, and file name is cached in the workspace. If you try to list an element for which the cached information exists, the element is directly listed from the cache.
In the text box under File, provide your input, as follows:
If you provide the input as a qualifier, then the list of file appears.
For the Opening a File with the OS 2200 File Explorer operation, if you provide the input as a fully qualified element name or data file, then the file opens in the relevant editor.
For the Save to Configured Server operation, if you provide the input as a fully qualified element name or data file, then the file saves and opens in the relevant editor.
If you provide the input as a program file, then the list of elements appears.
You can use wildcard characters such as ?, *, and % to reduce the scope of the available options, as follows:
‘?’ Represents a single character. For example, if the searched string is A?C, the result can be ABC but not ABDC.
‘*’ Represents any number of characters. For example, if the searched string is A*C, the result can be ABC and ABDC.
‘%’ Represents the presence of a key string anywhere within the name of the entity. For example, if the searched string is AB%, the result can be ABC, CAB, and CBABD.
Note: Each valid entry for a file or an element that you provide in the text box is saved in the cache in your system. The most recent 10 valid entries appear as a drop-down list in the text box. You can select one of these entries from the list. To refresh the results of the search with current host information, click Refresh.
Click GO.
