The zExplorer Model

Other than a normal AWM model, the zExplorer model must contain certain objects with fixed IDs in order to work properly. These IDs are mapped to several types and functions that are integrated in the zExplorer.

Example:

If a dataset filter is expanded at run time, the action with the action descriptor ID "ACT_FIX_MVS_FilterDataSets" will be executed.

While the object IDs must not be manipulated, the behavior of the objects themselves may be changed.

The IDs always contain the token "FIX" (fixed) or "zOSView" (pre-defined tool) so they can be easily distinguished from user defined IDs.

Here is a list of fixed IDs within the zExplorer model:

ID Action Description
ACT_FIX_MVS_FilterDataSets Filters MVS datasets (expanding a dataset filter). The property “PROP_FIX_DataSetFilter” will be available in the execution context with the current filter string as its value.
zOSView_ACT_USS_FIX_GetResources Gets children of a USS resource
zOSView_ACT_USS_FIX_CreateFile Create a USS file. If executed, a dialog comes up for the user to enter the new file name to create. The interred new name will be validating for existing.
zOSView_ACT_USS_FIX_CreateFolder Create a USS directory. If executed, a dialog comes up for the user to enter the new folder name to create. The interred new name will be validating for existing.
ELE_FIX_MVS_Dataset

ELE_FIX_MVS_Member

zOSView_ELE_FIX_USS_Resource

Fixed zExplorer element types.
IDDEF_FIX_MVS_DataSet

IDDEF_FIX_MVS_Member

zOSView_IDDEF_FIX_USS_Resource

ID definitions of the fixed element types.
PROP_FIX_... Fixed properties are used for integrated z/Server tools.
