PH35504: REMOTE SYSTEMS VIEW LOCATE KEYBOARD SHORTCUT IS UNAVAILABLE AFTER STARTUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Developer for Z/OS - IDz - v15
  Explorer for z/OS - zExpl - v3.2
  
  After starting IDz and connecting to a z/OS host, if the user
  right-click a dataset on the Remote Systems view, the Locate
  option might be listed without the related keyboard shortcut
  next to it.
  
  By default the Locate keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + L , however
  in this situation hitting the key combination does not bring
  the Locate window. Also, the user might hear a chime sound when
  trying the keyboard shortcut.
  
  This happens because the keyboard shortcuts depend on context
  within Eclipse, and in this case the active view is returned
  as null for some reason, and the related code that registers
  the context is not hit.
  

Local fix

• Switch to a different view, and then go back to the Remote
  Systems view, the Ctrl + L should work.
  For example, opening any PDS member will switch the context to
  a different view, so Ctrl + L should work normally after that.
  

Problem summary

• After starting IDz and connecting to a z/OS host, if the user
  right-click a dataset on the Remote Systems view, the Locate
  option might be listed without the related keyboard shortcut
  next to it.
  

Problem conclusion

• Switch to a different view, and then go back to the Remote
  Systems view, the Ctrl + L should work.
  

Temporary fix
