Working with system connections
These example tasks illustrate how you can configure and change
your system connections.
- Configuring a system connection
Before you can view any information, you must establish
a connection between CICS Explorer and
your CICS® systems by providing
details about the system connection, its location, and authentication
requirements. By default, CICS Explorer attempts
to connect using the SSL protocol. If the SSL connection is not successful,
the connection will be re-attempted without SSL.
- Connecting to a system that is already defined
When you have defined your system connections there are
a number of ways in which you can activate a connection to a system.
- Deleting a system connection
If you no longer need one of your system connections, you
can delete it permanently from the CICS Explorer.
- Disconnecting from a system
If you want to disconnect the CICS Explorer from your current system connection,
there are two ways of doing it.
- Restoring system connection default settings.
If your system connections were pre-configured when you
installed the CICS Explorer and
you want to back out all changes that you have subsequently made,
you can restore the default settings.
- Updating a system connection
If any of the system connection settings change, you must
update the connection details in the CICS Explorer to
reflect the changes.
