Managing objects

As a developer, you want a flexible user interface that allows for integration between systems. You often need to create libraries, source files, and source members. The Remote Systems view exposes all of these items through subsystems and filters for IBM® i native file system (QSYS) support. You can organize all of your IBM i libraries, files, and members in an easy-to-understand tree view.

The i native file system lets you query what objects are on your i server and perform actions against those objects. Filters allow you to easily organize elements within your system. See Filters, filter pools, and filter pool references for more information.
