CICS Explorer® uses
a local workspace to save its data and configuration files. You might
have more than one workspace, each containing a different configuration
of CICS Explorer.
You can switch workspaces at any time.
About this task
This task explains how to switch workspaces.
Procedure
- Click File > Switch Workspace > Other in
the CICS Explorer menu
bar. The Workspace Launcher dialog
is shown.
- If you previously switched workspace, you can select the
path in the Workspace list. If you want to
use a new workspace, type the path in the Workspace field.
Note: You cannot use special characters in the name of the workspace
directory, even if that directory exists. This is a restriction of
the Eclipse platform, which fails to run if installed in a directory
whose path contains certain invalid characters, including: :%#<>"!..
If you use invalid characters in the workspace path, Eclipse starts,
but the workspace is created in a different location.
- Optional: You can copy the settings from the
current workspace by selecting the check boxes in the Copy
Settings list.
- Click OK to switch to the new workspace.
Results
CICS Explorer shuts
down and then restarts, and uses the new workspace.
