Main Window

When you start CA File Master Plus for IMS, the main window displays a set of tabbed sections named views, the main menu bar, and the main toolbar.

Each view on the main window contains a set of items relevant to that area of functionality. For example, the Error Log view contains a list of all error logs for your sessions.

Each view contains a toolbar with a set of toolbar buttons relevant to that view. The toolbar buttons help manage the items within that particular view. For example, the Directory List view toolbar buttons let you add servers to the Directory List view and refresh the servers listed there.

Perspectives

A perspective is the term for the way views are displayed in the main window. Each CA File Master Plus product has a different perspective. You can have multiple perspectives open at once. For example, you can have the perspective for CA File Master Plus for IMS open, and you can open the perspective for CA File Master Plus for DB2 for z/OS at the same time. The next time you launch the Eclipse UI, the last perspective that you opened will show in the main window. You do not need to open another instance of the Eclipse UI to view another perspective. To s witch perspectives, select Show Perspectives from the Window menu. Select the perspective that you want to open from the Open Perspective window.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Window, Show Perspectives.
    The Open Perspective dialog displays.

  2. Select the view that you want to open.

  3. Click Open.
    The main window updates to show the selected perspective.
