The default z/OS perspective consists of a set of views
for the management of your z/OS® artifacts.
The active perspective name is displayed on a button in the shortcut
bar . You must have an active FTP or z/OSMF connection
to view z/OS data.
The default z/OS perspective is shown in the following screen capture.
The default perspective contains three views that provide system z information: The Data Sets view, the Jobs view, and the z/OS Unix Files view. See the related links for more information about these views. The Console view provides a history of the actions you have performed, such as submitting a job, or changing and saving a file. The area in the center of the perspective is the editor area. When you edit a file the file contents are displayed in this area.
You can tailor the perspective by adding new views, removing existing views, moving views around or changing the size of views. When you close z/OS Explorer, any changes you made to the perspective are saved, and next time z/OS Explorer starts, your tailored perspective is displayed.
You can restore the perspective to the last saved configuration at any time by clicking Restore Defaults on the Perspectives pane in the Preferences window.
on the main menu for the workbench. You can reset the supplied perspectives to their default configuration by clicking
