CICS Explorer® uses a z/OS® FTP connection to access data sets, z/OS hierarchical file systems such as zFS, and the JES spool, you must configure the z/OS® Communications Server FTP server for the connection to work. For CICS Explorer
to successfully obtain the required spool files, the FTP.DATA configuration file for the Server must
specify JESINTERFACELEVEL 2.
