z/OS® Explorer provides
a framework for installing and using Common Services Library features.
These topics describe the Common Services Library features,
which include a main navigation view as well as common services that
can be used by plug-ins.
Common Services Library-enabled
tools are implemented as z/OS Explorer plug-ins
and adhere to Eclipse conventions.
Switching
perspectives
A perspective is added for each
Common Services Library-enabled tool
that you have installed. The toolbar button for the current perspective
is pressed in.
There are several ways to open a new perspective:
- Using the Open Perspective button on the shortcut bar.
- Choosing a perspective from the menu.
- Typing the perspective name into the Quick Access bar.
The Common Services Library console view
The Common Services Library console view
displays messages returned by hosts such as
Common Services Library servers and
IMS™ Connect systems.
