Searching for Elements on the Host

  1. 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.

  1. Select one of the following Share options, and then provide a 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.

  1. From the File group

    1. 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:

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.

    1. In the text box under File, provide your input, as follows:

You can use wildcard characters such as ?, *, and % to reduce the scope of the available options, as follows:

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.
