.
- Expand
Micro Focus PL/I, and then click
Remote Mainframe PL/I Project.
- Click
Next.
- In the
New Remote Mainframe PL/I Project wizard, enter a project name.
- Choose whether to use a
Remote file system (RSE) or a
Network file system (SAMBA, NFS, etc...) to interact with the remote host.
- The Remote System Explorer (RSE) is a perspective and toolkit in the Eclipse IDE Workbench that allows you to connect and
work with a variety of remote systems.
Restriction: The following tools do not work with files that are part of a remote project created using the Remote System Explorer (RSE)
connection type:
- BMS Painter
- BMS Compiler
- All Classic Data File Tools
- IMS Database editor and segment layout editor
- Mainframe Assembler compiler
- The Network File System (SAMBA, NFS) protocol enables a client machine to access files over a network connection in a similar
manner to how local storage on the client machine is accessed.
- If you have created your own PL/I project templates, you can select one of them from the
Select a project template box. Alternatively, check
Browse for template and click
Browse to navigate to the location of the template and select it; then click
Next.
Note: By default, two templates are available for you to choose from
Micro Focus template [32 bit] or
Micro Focus template [64 bit]. Select a template that best suits your requirements.
- If you specify a network file system (Samba or NFS) project:
- Check
Use default location to populate the
Location field with the default workspace path and project name. Alternatively, type the full project path in the
Location field or click
Browse to select the location.
- In the
Remote location field, type the path of the project on the remote host. Click
Browse to browse the remote host's file system.
Note: For network file systems such as NFS or Samba, the
Remote Location value should be the UNIX/Linux representation of the path as specified in
Location. For example, a location of
X:NFS-mounted-drive location\project name should be represented by a remote location of
/home/users/my-folder.
- If you specify a remote file system (RSE) project:
- In the
Remote location field, type the path of the project on the remote host. Click
Browse to browse the remote host's file system.
- Click
Finish.
The project is created and appears in the
Application Explorer view.
