Topaz Workbench Xpediter Eclipse User Guide

This section provides instructions for how to use Xpediter/Eclipse to debug mainframe applications within an Eclipse-based workbench (for example,

Topaz Workbench

, Eclipse, or RDz). To become acquainted with Eclipse-based frameworks, refer to the Topaz Workbench User Guide help.

To use the features of Xpediter/Eclipse, the Compuware Host Explorer feature must also be installed. For

Topaz Workbench

users, the Host Explorer is included with the kit and is installed accordingly. For Eclipse/RDz users, the Host Explorer is installed separately.

IMPORTANT: To use Xpediter/Eclipse, you must define an HCI connection and connect

Topaz Workbench

or Eclipse/RDz to a mainframe system. Connections are defined within the Preferences dialog box, which is available from the Window menu by selecting Preferences> Compuware>Host Explorer>Host Connections. A Host Communication Interface (HCI) connection between the mainframe host and

Topaz Workbench

should have already been established during the installation and configuration of

Topaz Workbench

. Contact your system administrator to obtain specific connection credentials for your site for establishing Host Connections. (For system administrators, refer to the appropriate installation guide for further information on installing and configuring the HCI.)
