Connections Preferences window

Use the Connections Preferences window to set connection and authentication settings for your CICSplex.

The Connections Preferences window contains a number of fields that provide information to IBM CICS Explorer to tell it how to connect to your CICSplex. If you have previously connected to a CICSplex, the information you provided in the Connections Preferences window is saved and redisplayed next time you open the window.
