Question & Answer
Question
Who provides IBM support for the IBM Explorer for z/OS plug-ins? I need to know who provides support for the various plug-ins like the IMS Explorer, MQ Explorer, CICS Explorer, and the CICS Performance Analyzer plug-in. I am guessing that the same Team that supports IBM Explorer for z/OS Aqua supports the Explorer plug-ins.
Answer
The Explorer plug-ins are supported by various teams within IBM who support the host software the plug-in is communicating with. These plugins are not supported by the team who supports the Explorer for z/OS product itself. For example, the CICS Explorer and CICS Tools plug-ins are supported by CICS support.
The following table lists the Explorer plug-ins along with the Team that supports the plug-ins:
Product Group Product Support Team Explorer Plug-in CICS CICS Transaction Server for z/OS CICS Explorer CICS Configuration Manager CICS Configuration Manager plug-in CICS Deployment Assistant CICS Deployment Assistant plug-in CICS Interdependency Analyzer CICS Interdependency Analyzer plug-in CICS Performance Analyzer CICS Performance Analyzer plug-in CICS Transaction Gateway CICS Transaction Gateway plug-in Problem Determination Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS Application Performance Analyzer plug-in Debug Tool for z/OS Debug Tool plug-in Fault Analyzer for z/OS Fault Analyzer plug-in File Manager for z/OS File Manager plug-in Other Application Discovery IBM Application Discovery plug-in DB2 for z/OS Data Studio (DB2) plug-in Developer for z Systems IBM Developer for z Systems plug-in IMS for z/OS IMS Explorer for Development Rational Team Concert Rational Team Concert plug-in WebSphere MQ WebSphere MQ Explorer z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition z/OS Connect EE API Editor plug-in
If you are using a mixed Eclipse environment and are trying to to determine the component that a particular piece of UI belongs to you might want to use the plug-in-spy.
