IMS Connect Extensions Operations Console is implemented as an Eclipse plug-in for use in IBM® Explorer for z/OS® (z/OS Explorer).
By default the Operations Console has the following layout:
The layout is highly configurable. For example, you can open the Properties view to see a detailed view of the attributes of a selected item. Right-click a listed item in a table view and select Properties to display the Properties view. The Manage List Layout window allows a particular arrangement of tabular data in each view to be saved and reused.
Configuration settings that are changed during a session are saved to the user's specified workspace folder.
The Navigation view is a container for data sources, including all your IMS™ Connect systems and groups. Any systems that you have defined are displayed in the Navigation view. You can perform the following functions from the Navigation view:
Right-clicking on most list items and data rows in the Operations Console displays a context menu showing the available options for the current panel or selected item.
Panels within the Operations Console can be moved by dragging them to a new location. Panels can be resized by dragging the divider, which is the border between it and the next panel. You can maximize a panel by double-clicking its title. To restore it to its previous position, double-click the title again.
