How to I export a language definition in RTC?

Is there a way to export the language definition in RTC for Enterprise Extensions for z/OS? This is so that we do not have to assigned the definition in every file again and again.

I noticed that in the link below, we create a "default language definition".

However, I could not find anywhere else to do this.

Thanks.

System definitions generator in RTC 3.0.1 provides a way to export systems definitions including language definitions to an XML file, but it does not export the associations between files and language definitions. For eliminating the need for assigning language definitions to every file, using the default language definition feature would be a good idea.

In order to use the default language definition feature, you only have to specify the File Extensions in the Language Definition editor. For example, if the File Extensions contains "cbl", files with the "cbl" extension, like "ABC.cbl" or "XYZ.cbl" will be handled as if they are associated with the language definition.

Hi, tamichan.

I have to export the language definitions and the dataset definitions, too.
How can I use "System definitions generator" to export systems definitions to an XML file?
Is it a feature of Eclipse or something? I can not find it in RTC3.0.1 nfocenter.

Thanks!

Ishida-san,

Please look at the ExportTask section on

Hi, Takamiya-san

Thanks!
I have a further question.
Do I have to run the ResolveMetadataTask after the ExportTask?

The answer is Yes.

The doc is somehow misleading. The first sentence of the note starting with Important: (When you export the build XML, you also create new system definitions.) should have been like:

When you run the system definitions generator with the exported build XML, a new set of system definitions are created.

It means that the ExportTask exports the contents of system definitions to an XML file, but it would not export system definitions themselves. So you need to re-run the ResolveMetadataTask to associate your source files with the newly created system definitions.

Takamiya-san...

Great! It worked well!
Thank you so much.
