Upload/download options
The second tab of the User Preferences dialog allows you to set Upload/Download
Options.
- Host user ID and password. For security purposes,
you can have CICS® BAC ask for a host user ID every time you try to upload/download
from the host, or you can have it only ask for a user ID if it is not already
set. A host user ID and password is required for all interactions with CICS BAC on the host mainframe, even if security checking is not active on
the host.
- Replace on download. Specify whether you want CICS BAC to ask for confirmation before replacing an existing object with
downloaded information on your workstation. If you select Do not confirm, CICS BAC will replace the existing information automatically without asking
for permission first.
- TCP/IP settings. You can use the up/down arrow icons
to change timeout length when attempting connections to the host or when exchanging
data with the host. CICS BAC will disconnect automatically if there is no activity
within the specified time period (in seconds) and display a popup explaining
the type of timeout.
- Delete after uploading. These selections control
whether CICS BAC will delete your resource object definition after uploading
it to the host.
- Ask every time. CICS BAC will always ask whether or not it
should delete the object.
- Always delete. CICS BAC will delete the object definition
automatically following a successful upload of the object without asking for
permission except in certain situations in which the editing of an object
definition is still underway on the workstation.
- Never delete. CICS BAC will not delete the object definition
on your workstation automatically following a successful upload of the object.
If you want it deleted, you will have to delete it manually.
