This page controls the general File Manager® plug-in related options.
- Run IBM File Manager® in Debug Mode: This option enables
running File Manager plug-in and the corresponding user sessions on the mainframe in
debug mode. This option should be specified while diagnosing problems with IBM support
team. For this option to take an effect, you need to click Apply before
clicking OK, and close
any open connections.
- Report sever/client version incompatibility: When this option
is selected (selected by default), the user is notified when the client version and the
server version are not compatible. Disabling this may result in unexpected behaviour
without warning.
- Local port range for connection: The specified range of ports
will be used on the client machine when establishing connections to the File Manager®
server running on the mainframe. For this option to take effect, you will need to close any open connections. You
should allow minimum range of 5 ports in order for File Manager® Plug-in to function
efficiently.

connections.
After adding a system, you can retrieve the installation options from the host by
clicking on Restore Defaults. For more information about these compiler
options, please refer to the File Manager® User Guide.

Editor options affect the behaviour and presentation of data in the File
Manager® editor.
- Group options: Controls the grouping of NOT
SELECTED and SUPPRESSED records when the editor is opened
- Shadow options: Controls the display of EXCLUDED,
NOT SELECTED and SUPPRESSED records when the editor is
opened
- Color settings: Controls the color highlighting of various data
in the editor
- Additional settings:
- Editor record cache size: Controls the number of records being
downloaded (from the host) at a time. The default cache size is 100 and the maximum
allowed is 500. The size of cache affects the performance of the editor; that is, the
larger the size of the record length of the data being downloaded from the host, the
smaller the cache size should be.
- Hex mode on: Turns on the hex display when the editor starts
- Recognize and process ISPF packed data: Unpacks ISPF packed
data when invoking the editor
- Show redefined fields on SNGL or TABL view: Displays redefined
