    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans to implement perspective export/import so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Transaction Processing
    Product - CICS Transaction Server

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Transaction Processing
    Product - CICS Transaction Server

    Comment Added 08/01/2012 (Lisa Fellows) - We would like the Perspective Import/Export to work like the Connection Import/Export delivered in CICS Explorer v1.1.1. We would like to have a Manage Perspective Screen, be able to Export to a File, Store the File in z/FS, and be able to Load/Import/Link to it. The exception to this, is that with Connections today you export them ALL to a single file. We would like to be able to Export an individual Perspective to a file, and be able to Load/Import/Link to multiple Perspective files in z/FS. This would allow us to change individual perspectives without having to replace all the Perspectives. We could also load new individual perspectives and allow the users to choose to Load/Import/Link to them individually

    Sorry for the Confusion. This is a duplicate of RFE 18746. Since this one has been updated with the IBM Development Comments, I'm fine with closing RFE 18746 and Keeping this one.

    I looked at the blog that Joe submitted above. I was hoping for something more straight forward (like the Connection Import/Export) that didn't involve enabling the Eclipse capabilities.

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    This seems to be a duplicate of http://ltsgnd001k.sby.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewChangeRequest&CR_ID=18746

    Joe Winchester blogged about it at https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/JoeWinchester/entry/cics_explorer_workspaces_copying_locating_and_more5?lang=en

    Can you let us know if this is a solution for you? Thanks, Steve Bolton.
