Use the online application editor to work with applications
that are installed on a platform.
To open an application in the online application editor,
go to the Cloud Explorer view in the CICS® Cloud perspective, or to the Applications view. In the
CICSplex where the platform is located, select an installed application
version, and double-click on the application name. As an alternative
to double-clicking, you can right-click the application name and click Open.
Errors and warnings are displayed in the
main editor window or the status field in the workbench.
The online application editor has three tabs, Overview, Private Resources,
and Attributes. The list of actions on the Overview tab has links
to the other tabs.
Use the Overview tab of the online application
editor for viewing general information about the installed application
version, including the ID, description, and version number, the status
of the application version, the CICS bundles that are part of the
application, and the application entry points.
- You can make the application version available to callers through
its application entry points using the Make Available and Make Unavailable buttons on this tab.
- You can enable, disable, or discard the application version using
the Enable and Disable buttons on this tab.
- The option to discard the application version is available as
a selection from the Disable button.
You cannot make changes to the format of the installed application
using this editor. To change the format of the installed application,
modify and reversion the application project in your local workspace
from the Project Explorer view, then export and install the new version
of the application.
To view more information about the bundle
parts for a CICS bundle, or about an application entry point, double-click
on its name to open it in a separate resource editor.
Use the Private Resources tab of the
online application editor to see the private resources that have been
installed in your CICS regions
for the application version, and the application entry points. Select
the tab for the resource type that you want to view. You can also
select the
Library DS Names tab to view the
data set names that z/OS has generated for the LIBRARY concatenation
of data sets for private LIBRARY resources.
Use the Attributes tab of the online application editor for
viewing detailed information about the attributes of the installed
application version.
