The USS Explorer applies filters for the z/OS UNIX subsystem USS.

  1. In the Remote Systems pane, expand the entry for your mainframe.
  2. In the USS Explorer, create a new filter:
    1. Right-click USS Explorer, point to New and click Filter.

    2. To define a filter which displays all USS folders and files, enter a slash character in the folder field as shown below and click Next:

    3. Enter a name for the filter (for example All for all jobs), and then click Finish.

  3. From the USS Explorer, expand the All filter a few times and navigate through the USS directory.
