Connecting to z/OS

Before you can import source from z/OS® to your IMS™ Explorer project or export modified IMS resources from your IMS Explorer project to z/OS, you must create a connection to z/OS. Create a connection directly by opening the Host Connections view.

Procedure

To connect to z/OS:

  1. Open the Host Connections view. To open the Host Connections view, go to Window > Manage Connections. (If your IMS Explorer is installed into IBM® Developer for z Systems®, go to Window > Show View > Host Connections > Host Connections.) The Host Connections view opens at the bottom of your screen.
  2. In the Host Connections view, click Add and select z/OS FTP.
  3. In the Add z/OS FTP Connection window, type a name for your connection and complete the fields.
  4. Click Save and Connect.
  5. Optional: If you did not enter your user ID and password in the Add z/OS FTP Connection window, the Signon window opens. Enter your user ID and password. Click OK.

Results

The z/OS connection is created and saved for future use.
