Managing connection profiles

The IMS™ Connect Extensions Operations Console uses connection profiles to log in to your z/OS® systems.

About this task

If you only maintain a single set of credentials to log into your z/OS systems, use the Default Connection Profile in the procedure below.

Procedure

  1. Select Preferences from the View menu.
    View menu; Preferences item
  2. Select Connection Profiles.
  3. Select the Default Connection Profile, or click New to create a new profile. If you selected New, enter a name for the new profile and click OK. This can be useful, for example, if you have more than one set of credentials you need to use.
  4. Enter the following information next to the profile name:
    User ID
    Enter the user ID that you would normally use to connect to z/OS systems.
    Password
    Enter the password.
    Note: Passwords must conform to the Activate Mixed Case Passwords setting in the IMS Connect Extensions system definition:
    • If Activate Mixed Case Passwords is enabled, you must enter each letter in the password in the correct case.
    • If Activate Mixed Case Passwords is not enabled, the password is converted to all uppercase so it does not matter how it is entered.
  5. Click OK to save your changes.
  6. Return to the View menu and select Refresh Connection Statuses.
