Viewing history files

Right click anywhere in the "Fault Analyzer Objects" view to get the context menu above. It is common to retrieve the list of "Last accessed history files" that was previously viewed using the green screen ISPF interface. Adding a single history file is also possible.

When using CICS Explorer for the first time, there might not be any connections defined to the PD Tools Common Component server. The Fault Analyzer plug-in will bring up the dialog to create a new connection definition to the server.

Define connection if none exists

Once a connection is defined, or if there were existing connections, a list of systems is presented to get history files from.

If not logged in, a logon screen will open.

Options for history file

Right clicking on the "Reports List" view will show the context menu. The column and filtering menu options will be explained in the "Using views" chapter. The "Refresh history file/view" refreshes the list of reports.
