When you start the CICS® Explorer for
the first time, the workbench opens and the Welcome view is displayed.
The Welcome view contains a number of icons. Each of the icons
is a link to another part of the CICS Explorer.
When you click on an icon, you are taken to the chosen target. The
Welcome view closes but you can re-open it at any time by clicking Help
> Welcome from the workbench menu bar.
The icons and their targets are as follows:

for your CICSplex.

Started" page in the CICS Explorer help
documentation. The page opens in a new window.
- Go to Explorer icon:
