HostBridge for VSCode

This extension adds options to Make, Execute, and Put Hostbridge scripts on the Explorer context menu as well as the Editor context menu. It also adds a Hostbridge Explorer that acts as a host repository browser. The repository browser provides context menu options to Get and Delete content items.

Please note this extension is still considered beta.

Disclaimer

• This is an unofficial HostBridge extension and is therefore unsupported. I am not affiliated with HostBridge.
• This extension was developed against Hostbridge v6.78.

Credits

• The functionality in this extension is modeled after the original Eclipse extension provided by Hostbridge.
• For now the handful of file icons used in the Host Explorer are from Philipp Kief's excellent Material Icons Theme.

Features

• Right-click context menu options added on items in the File Explorer as well as in the editor for Execute, Make, and Put
• HBX files automatically associated with javascript
• Adds a Host Explorer that allows browsing host repositories with options to Get and Delete
• Active repository can be set via right-clicking the repository in the Host Explorer, or via the status bar option.
• Multiple hosts with different CICS regions and repositories are supported

Setup

• To get started, simply define all your hosts, regions, and repositories via Settings -> Hostbridge -> Hosts (or by editing your settings.json file and adding a hostbridge.hosts node).

    "hostbridge.hosts": [
        {
            "name": "HostAbc",
            "regions": [
                {
                    "name": "CICSAAAA",
                    "port": 8888,
                    "protocol": "https",
                    "userid": "MYSIGNON",
                    "repositories": [
                        "Repo1",
                        "Repo2",
                        "Repo3"
                    ]
                },
            ]
        }
    ],

• By default, any files downloaded from a host repository are saved to your workspace folder root\HostBridge\tempFiles. This location can be changed via settings.
