Estimating the term…
For use in an integrated development environment, such as Eclipse, a common connection registry of connections to remote iSeries systems is presented. The connection registry comprises subsystem objects that contain information specific to a particular tool and connection. These subsystem objects include iSeries Objects, iSeries Jobs, iSeries Commands, IFS Files, and IFS Commands. The framework further presents a common user interface called the remote systems explorer by which tools can be registered within a connection to an iSeries resource, or by which a new connection to an iSeries resource can be created. Each subsystem object type has a factory that has a plurality of application program interfaces by which connection objects and subsystem objects can be created, retrieved, maintained, updated, modified, stored in the registry, and/or deleted, etc. for that type of resource. The framework is capable of maintaining connections and tools within an integrated development environment independent of the type and/or operating system of the client upon which the integrated development environment is situated, or the human or the programming language of the tools, etc. The framework comprises a client tier of a three-tiered access to edit remote iSeries source files.
An apparatus to access remote iSeries resources from a local computer, comprising a client tier comprising local APIs.
A client tier framework for accessing remote iSeries resources from an integrated development environment in a local computer, comprising:
A computer processing device, comprising:
An article of manufacture, comprising a data storage medium tangibly embodying a program of machine readable instructions executable by an electronic processing apparatus to perform method steps for operating an electronic processing apparatus, said method steps comprising the steps of:
A method to use an integrated development environment having a plurality of tools that can access remote iSeries systems, the method comprising the steps of:
An integrated development environment, comprising:
A framework for an integrated development environment within a computer software development program to access remote iSeries resources, the framework on a client computer, the framework comprising:
