The Signon window displays the credential associated with the connection. If no credential has been established, the Signon window will provide a drop down of credentials to select from, or a new credential can be created. Click OK to connect or Cancel to return.

If OK was selected, CICS Explorer™ attempts to connect to APA. If there is already a connection to the selected system, the CICS Explorer will re-connect. If the password/pass phrase was not previously entered, you are asked to enter it at this time.

If the connection is successful, the connection name appears in the connection status bar in lower right corner of the workbench window next to a green icon for a non-SSL connection, or a padlock icon for a SSL connection. The APA remote repository will then be populated and displayed.



APA connected

If the connection is not successful, the connection name appears in the connection status bar in the lower right corner of the workbench window next to a red icon, indicating that the connection failed. An error message is displayed providing a reason for the failure. Check the values in the fields, correct any errors in the connection definition, and click Connect to test the corrections.
