Exercise 6.1: More about the Remote System Explorer

Most of the functions of CODE Project Organizer have been replaced by WebSphere Studio functions with the exception of accessing ADM parts. The Remote System Explorer is replacing PDM (Program Development Manager) on the workstation. It currently doesn't have all the function of PDM but will over time eventually be a full replacement for PDM.

Remote System Explorer allows you to:

  1. Simplify your work by giving you quick access to lists of iSeries libraries, objects, members, IFS files, UNIX(R) files, and local files.
  2. Use the context-sensitive pop-up menus on these lists to perform actions such as start the Remote Systems LPEX Editor, CODE Designer, or Integrated Debugger or other common iSeries actions.
  3. Use the Work with User Actions option to create and manage your own user-defined actions and have them appear in the pop-up menus.
  4. Use the command support to increase your productivity by allowing you to enter and repeat iSeries or local commands without switching to an emulator session.

You have read the list of Remote System Explorer capabilities and you are ready to begin Exercise 6.2: Creating a library filter.
