Error description

  • IBM z Explorer - v3.0.1

Description :
To allow to compare versions from an internal source
management system, it's possible to create a plug-in.
To do that, you can open a comparison editor with
MVSFilesCompareInput as the input, and pass a
CompareConfiguration on which the left and right labels are set
(using CompareConfiguration#setLeftLabel and
CompareConfiguration#setRightLabel).
But IBM z Explorer replaces these labels by the file names in
MVSFilesCompareInput#prepareInput and does not keep the left
and right labels.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • When a compare configuration is supplied with its own custom
labels, the labels are being replaced by the default resource
names.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The MVS compare input function sets the labels without first
checking to see if the compare configuration already has them
set.

    



Temporary fix
