Hello all,
On VSCODE/ ZMF Explorer, I'm trying to do the parametrization in order to be able to expand/see the INCLUDES and COPY's.
For the one's that are on BASELINE I can see them because I've done the parametrization on the zapp.yaml file (the name do not change). But for those that are only inside the Package, VSCODE/ZMF Explorer is not able to find them.

Can someone help me with the parametrization ?

Thank you in advance,
Joao

    Hello Joao

    We are starting with the ZMF Explorer, we are downloading the copybooks on the local machine and map the yaml file to the local folder
    This is only a work arround, we are looking into a way of creating a script that executes the package syslib list service and map the yaml file to the outcome of this

    Best regards

    Johan

    I quickly wrote a rexx that generates the yaml file, we willm do the same in python using the rest sercvices

    The rexx gets three parameters : subsystem,packageId,windowsUserid
    It then creates the following :

    name: zapp.yaml file for package CFRA000019
    description: must reside in the root of the package folder
    author: ZMF utility VCCRYAML
    propertyGroups:
      - name: pl1-includes
        language: pl1
        compilerOptions: not(!)
        libraries:
          - name: syslib
            type: local
            locations:
              - 'C:/Users/TBEJJAC/.zmf/ZMF_EOCA.CHGMANT/packages/CFRA000019/**
          - name: syslib
            type: mvs
            locations:
              - 'CMAN.T.STG.CFRA.#000019.CPI'
              - 'CMAN.T.STG.CFRA.#000019.CPO'
              - ...

    This file is then put in the root of the package folder

    In python we will use the REST API : 
    http://lpar:port/zmfrest/package/syslib?package=CFRA000019&libraryType=SRC

    And from there parse the JSON

    I hopes this helps
