Mainframe Navigation allows you to access and manipulate objects stored on a mainframe from Eclipse. These objects include datasets and members, as well as system objects such as active jobs or the console under the z/OS operating system. With Mainframe Navigation, the objects are displayed in a tree structure and can be browsed and edited in Eclipse. On the mainframe server, Mainframe Navigation is supported by Natural ISPF.
