Using the application development tools in the client product

You can accomplish the most commonly performed development tasks on your System i® using the Remote Systems view, the System i Table view, and the Remote Systems LPEX Editor. These views and their associated functions are available through the Remote System Explorer perspective in the client product.

If you are accustomed to working with PDM, the Table view provides similar support. If you are accustomed to working with SEU, the Remote Systems LPEX Editor can operate in a similar way.
