Re: IBM Explorer for z/OS - installation problems?
Several other plug-ins as/if you'd like: CICS, IMS, MQ, DB2, Debug Tool, File Manager, Fault Analyzer, etc., etc. By the way, if you want only the minimalist Eclipse environment sufficient for then adding the plug-ins you wish (including the Explorer for z/OS and others), then you can grab what's called the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary and follow the manual installation instructions, adding the IBM repository to install from there. I happen to prefer that installation path, but your mileage may vary. Here's the direct link to the current version (as I write this), but if you're reading this more than a month or so after I wrote it, check the Eclipse Web site for a later version. http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.3.2-201402211700/#PlatformRuntime This Eclipse download is roughly one quarter the size of the usual Eclipse package. Several more platforms are available.

Though it would be a bit nicer if it said something, rather then just going away silently. OK - so now that I have it installed, I can't see what it's useful for. It has a notepad-like editor that can edit PDS members and sequential datasets (as long as they're not too big, it warns), and UNIX text files. It can submit JCL, and has a different JCL editor that can highlight some JCL keywords. Other than that, it seems to be just another installation of Eclipse, with all its Java-ish goodness, and broken locale baggage. Has anyone found it useful for something? Am I missing a secret menu somewhere that has the good stuff?

IBM Explorer for z/OS - installation problems?
I thought I'd try it, but on my Windows 7 the installer just quietly exits. Of course I can provide more details if I know what's important, but have some of you installed it and had it Just Work? Any pointers? I downloaded it from http://www-01.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/ibmexplforzos and tried Scenario 1 - Install z/OS Explorer and Installation Manager. Thanks...

Re: IBM Explorer for z/OS - installation problems?
Tony, I also tried to follow what was documented in that url and had no luck. In the end, I just installed IBM Installation Manager and then invoked launchpad.exe and managed to successfully spin up z/OS Explorer. Hope that helps.
