z/Explorer File Mappings

There is an entry in the default configuration XML file to define file mappings, these are mappings between generic remote file names and the suffix which is used on the client-side. Among other things, the suffix on the client-side defines which editor is used to open the file.

Syntax:

Element	Attribute	Description
fileMappings*		Main element for all file mappings.
fileMapping	genericName*	The generic z/OS file name pattern this mapping should apply for. Examples: .CBL MYUSER.XML .LOAD.
	suffix*	The suffix (without the dot) that should be given to files which match the generic name pattern. Examples: cbl xml model
	type	The type of file the generic name should be matched with. Valid values include: dataset (default) member
	remoteCodePage	The code page that should be used for editing files that match the generic name pattern. Do not define this attribute if the code page from the remote system connection should be used. Examples: IBM037 IBM01141
	localCodePage	The code page of the encoded local file.
	transferMode	How the file should be transferred when read or copied. Currently only the value Text is supported.

Example:

<defaultConfigurations>
    <fileMappings>
        <fileMapping genericName="*.XML" suffix="xml"
			         remoteCodePage="IBM037"/>
        <fileMapping genericName="COB*" suffix="cbl" type="member"/>
    </fileMappings>
</defaultConfigurations>
