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.
- Type
- The type of the system. Values are CICSPlex SM for connection to
a CICSPlex SM V3 system,
- Name
- The local name used to identify this connection. The name can be anything
you choose and is only used to help you distinguish between different connections.
- Server Address
- The address of the server hosting your CICSPlex SM.
- Port Number
- The port used to access the server.
- Userid
- Your authorized userid for the system.
- Password
- Your password for the system. If you leave this field blank, you will
be asked to enter your password when the connection is attempted.
- Save Password
- Clicking this box saves your password on your computer.
When all the information has been entered, click Apply to
connect to the CICSplex and leave the Connections Preferences window open.
Alternatively, click OK to connect and close the Connections Preferences
window. If you have not provided your password, the Signon dialog will be
displayed and you must enter your password before IBM CICS Explorer will
connect to your CICSplex.
You can click Restore Defaults to restore
the fields to the default values set by your organization.
