Set Eclipse UI Preferences

This dialog allows you to set your workbench preferences.

The general preferences for the Eclipse UI apply to all three CA File Master Plus product perspectives, unless otherwise stated. To set your general preferences, select open the Preferences dialog, and then select General on the left side of the dialog. Expanding the General folder displays the Appearance, Capabilities, and Editors options. CA File Master Plus does not provide support for the features that are related to the Capabilities option.

Note: The application does not currently support appearance preferences.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Window, Preferences.
    The Preferences dialog opens.

  2. Select CA File Master Plus.
    The CA File Master Plus preferences page displays.

  3. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:

    • Maximum number of recently used items
      Indicates the maximum number of recently used items to display in the drop-down menu.

    • Always remove items without prompting
      Disables the dialog that prompts for confirmation when removing an item from the Eclipse UI.

    • Always change data set name without prompting
      Disables the dialog that prompts for confirmation when renaming a data set.

    • Always exit without prompting
      Disables the Confirm Exit dialog that displays when you close CA File Master Plus.

    • Disable preview
      Disables the Preview button on all wizards.

  4. Click OK.

    CA File Master Plus saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding sessions unless you change the preferences again. You can restore the default configuration settings anytime on the Preferences dialog. To restore the default settings, navigate to the page you want to restore, click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.

    Note: You can configure the mainframe settings after you have added a server to your Directory List view. For more information about configuring the mainframe settings, see Configure Mainframe Settings.
