When launched, APA automatically loads and displays the local repository of the Startup APA SST. The remote repository is accessed via TCP/IP communications between the APA and z/OS. An APA Listener started task must be installed and active on z/OS.
APA Connections are configured using the CICS Explorer Connection and Credential Preferences. Connecting and disconnecting to APA is located in trim-bar on the bottom-right corner of the CICS Explorer desktop.
