V3.1 How to copy pre-existing work folder
The work folder format of IMU Explorer V3.1 is different from the work folder format of IMU Explorer V1.1.
The work folder format of IMU V2.1 is the same as the work folder of IMU V3.1, there is no need for reformatting.
If you wish to use V3.1 on folder(s) created by V2.1, select V2.1 work folder on IMU Explorer V3.1 Work Folder start-up dialog.
If you wish to use V3.1 on folder(s) created by V1.1, we recommend that you create a copy of V1.1 work folder(s) as follows:
- Bring up IMU Explorer V3.1 with a brand new work folder
- On the Mainshell Tool Bar, select
File -> Export/Copy Work Folder
option
- Make a copy of IMU Explorer V1.1 work folder you wish to use with IMU Explorer V3.1
For help, click on Help
button at the bottom left corner of the dialog.

V2.1 RemoteLibs naming convention rules
IMU Explorer V3.1 Remote libraries naming conventions are the same as in IMU Explorer V2.1.
IMU Explorer V3.1 Remote libraries naming conventions are different from IMU Explorer V1.1. as described below.
The TSO User ID and the data set names (DSN) on z/OS can be in upper case only. IMU Explorer V1.1 did not impose
any naming conventions for z/OS resources. As a result, the TSO User ID and the PDS/PDSE names may have been saved
improperly, i.e., in lower or mixed case.
IMU Explorer V3.1 imposes strict z/OS naming convention rules for resources on z/OS. To make sure that conventions
hold, the following z/OS resources are converted to upper case at start-up time unconditionally:
- Windows only, hard drive letter is forced to upper case (c: is changed to C:)
- The TSO User ID in FTP profiles and history files are forced to upper case
- The TSO User ID in the JES directory names is forced to upper case
- The PDS/PDSE names in the RemoteLibs are forced to upper case
- The PDS/PDSE names in the history files are forced to upper case
