Rational Programming Patterns for System z

Overview tab

This tab contains one or two links, depending on the derivation type selected upon the instance creation, in the Generation parameters definition. The <Entity> to derive link, always displayed whatever the derivation type, points to the reference instance from which the instance derives. The Set of parameters link, displayed only with a Design derivation, points to the generation Library.

General information displays the following fields:
Work context
The work context is the project from which you have opened the editor of the current instance. This project constitutes the starting point for the resolution of the dynamic links and references between the instances contained in the various projects of the location. The projects hierarchy declared in the design build path is explored in an upward direction.

If you click Hierarchy, you can see a partial view of the design build path. In this view, the project which constitutes the work context is the lowest project of the hierarchy.

More information can be found in the following topics: The work context and The design build path.

Name
The instance name is displayed in read-only mode. It is entered when the instance is created and cannot be modified later.
Label
Enter the label, which identifies the new instance. It constitutes a search criterion for a subsequent search.
Generation parameters definition
It contains one or both of the following links:
  • <Entity> to derive points to the reference instance, which contains the design of the instance. The <Entity> to derive can be a Program, a Screen, a Server, a Data Structure, a Dialog, or a Server Dialog.
  • Set of parameters is displayed only if the derived instance was created with the Design derivation. It points to the Library from which the reference instance is generated. This Library is different from the Library indicated in the reference instance. It contains generation parameters which output a COBOL source different from the source generated from the Library of the reference instance.
