RSE iSeries User Interface API

You might want to have a look at some of the re-usable iSeries user interfaces, which could be of value to your design.

Validators

There are many re-usable validators that you can use to validate iSeries names, all in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.validators.

Filters

The native iSeries subsystem supports four types of filters: They can list libraries lists, libraries, objects, and members. There is also one filter type for each of the jobs and commands subsystems. For each of these filter types, you will find its filter string edit pane in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.

The actions to launch the new-filter wizards are:

The actions to launch the change-filter dialogs are:

Actions

Many re-usable actions exist in the iSeries packages. The action is the preferred way to use these packages, even if you only want to "run" the action and not show an action via a pop-up menu. However, each action that displays a dialog or wizard is designed so that you can directly use the dialog or wizard itself, if you desire.

Common Actions

Many re-usable wizards exist in the iSeries packages as well. You can use these wizards to prompt for iSeries-related code in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.wizards.

Selection Actions

The most immediately useful actions are the selection actions in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.actions.select. These actions display display dialogs that enable you to select an iSeries:

iSeries Command Actions

There are a few actions that present dialogs or wizards to run remote iSeries commands, effectively resulting in an optimized command prompt GUI. These are high-use commands for which it was deemed important to have highly-productive user interfaces. These actions are all in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.actions.select.cmds.

iSeries Table View

You will find the code for the table views in the follwoing package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.view, and dialogs specific to the table view in the following package: com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.ui.actions.tableview.
