Modifying the runtime CL templates for iSeries

Templates can be modified to meet installation requirements for preparing and running programs. These modifications are usually done by a system administrator or project leader. To modify the templates, create a new directory and copy all of the templates into that new directory from the default location. Make your changes to the copies, not to the original templates.

The runtime templates for iSeries® are located in the following default directory:
shared_resources\plugins\
com.ibm.etools.egl.generators.cobol_version\iSeriestemplates
shared_resources
The shared resources directory for your product, such as C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared on a Windows system or /opt/IBM/SDP70Shared on a Linux system. If you installed and kept a previous version of an IBM® product containing EGL before installing your current product, you may need to specify the shared resources directory that was set up in the earlier installation.
version
The installed version of the plugin. If more than one is present, use the one with the most recent version number, unless you have a reason to use an older version.
The file type extension for the templates is always .tpl.

Because different projects can require different templates, it is important to have separate directories for each project. Each directory must contain copies of all the templates. Use the templateDir build descriptor option to specify the directory containing the templates to be used. If this option is not specified the templates in the default directory will be used.
