Creating a host list and setting the host connection

The Set Host Connection panel appears when you select the Set Host Connection tool in the CICS® BAC main window, or when you select File > Set Host Connection. This panel lets you set up a list of available host connections at certain network TCP/IP addresses and ports. You can then select from this list whenever you need to connect to a host computer on the network.

For example, your test and a production hosts may have different IP addresses. If so, you can identify them both in this panel and then select the one you need for any given purpose.
