About this task
The second tab of the User Preferences dialog allows you to set
Upload/Download Options.
- Host user ID and password. For security
purposes, you can have CICS® BAC ask for a host user ID every
time you try to upload/download from the host, or you can have it
only ask for a user ID if it is not already set. A host user ID and
password is required for all interactions with CICS BAC
on the host mainframe, even if security checking is not active on
the host.
- Replace on download. Specify whether you
want CICS BAC to ask for confirmation before replacing
an existing object with downloaded information on your workstation.
If you select Do not confirm, CICS BAC
will replace the existing information automatically without asking
for permission first.
- TCP/IP settings. You can use the up/down
arrow icons to change timeout length when attempting connections to
the host or when exchanging data with the host. CICS BAC
will disconnect automatically if there is no activity within the specified
time period (in seconds) and display a popup explaining the type of
timeout.
- Delete after uploading. These selections
control whether CICS BAC will delete your resource
object definition after uploading it to the host.
- Ask every time. CICS BAC
will always ask whether or not it should delete the object.
- Always delete. CICS BAC
will delete the object definition automatically following a successful
upload of the object without asking for permission except in certain
situations in which the editing of an object definition is still underway
on the workstation.
- Never delete. CICS BAC
will not delete the object definition on your workstation automatically
following a successful upload of the object. If you want it deleted,
you will have to delete it manually.
