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