If any of the system connection settings change, you must update the connection details in the CICS® Explorer to reflect the changes.
Ask your system administrator for the changed connection details for the system to which you want to connect, and then perform these steps:
If the connection you have changed is your current connection, CICS Explorer attempts to connect to the system with the changed details. If you did not previously enter your password, you are asked to enter it at this time.
If the connection you have changed is not your current connection, you must click Connect to connect.
If the connection is successful, the connection name appears in the lower right corner of the workbench window next to a green icon, indicating a successful connection.
If the connection is not successful, the connection name appears in the lower right corner of the workbench window next to a red icon, indicating that the connection was not successful. An error message is displayed at the top of the Connections Preferences view providing a reason for the failure. Check the values in the fields, correct any errors, and click Connect to test the corrections.
When the connection is successful, click OK to save the updated details and close the Preferences view.
You can cancel the process at any time by clicking Cancel to close the Preferences view without saving any changes.
