This topic describes a workaround for the situation in
which the New Local/Remote Action button in the Menu
Manager section of the Preferences is disabled.
- Operating systems:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux V5
and V6 32-bit and 64-bit
- SUSE Enterprise Linux V10
and V11 32-bit and 64-bit
- Problem:
- A new local or remote action cannot be created because the New
Local/Remote Action button is disabled. This button is
located in the Preferences window on the page, on the Action tab.
- Analysis:
- Regular users do not have write access to the TPF information
directory TPFSHARE. An example of the full path of
this directory is: /opt/ibm/SDPShared/Config/TPFSHARE.
This directory is the default directory for the action files shown
in the File Selection list.
- Resolution:
- To resolve this problem:
- Create a new actions file in a directory to which you have write
access:
- On the Actions and Menus page, in the File
Selection group, click New.
- In the New File wizard:
- Specify a directory and a name for the new actions file. The directory
must be one to which you have write access.
- Click Finish.
The New Local/Remote Action button should now be enabled.
- When you are finished adding actions to the new actions file,
have someone with superuser privileges copy your actions file to the TPFSHARE directory.
Note: Other ways to resolve this problem include the following:
- Log on as a superuser before you launch Rational® Developer for System z®.
- Grant regular users write privileges to the TPFSHARE directory.
