Before you can install new software plug-ins, you must tell CICS Explorer the address of the update site, or sites, where the software is located. The sites can be at a remote address or in a folder on a local machine.
This example task shows you how to add a new update site, using the Available Software page. You must know the Web site address (URL) or local file system location, of the update site that you want to add.
When you click OK, the update site is added to the list of available software. At the same time, the site is checked to find available software at that site. If no software is found at the site, an error is displayed and the site must be removed and a valid site added.
Click OK in the Available Software Sites dialog to return to the Available Software page. The new software found is displayed in tree form below the newly added site address. See the related links at the end of the topic for information on installing software updates.
