Before you can view any information, you must establish a connection between the CICS® IA plug-in and your CICS system by providing details about the DB2® location, settings, and authentication requirements.
The CICS IA plug-in Collector places details about interactions between CICS programs and resources in a set of DB2 tables. To allow the client to access these tables, you require a user ID and password that connects to the location of the DB2 database.
The dialog box on the bottom of the main CICS IA plug-in perspective displays the reason for a connection failure or that the connection details are valid:
