The Host Connections view is the single place to manage
all your system connections and login credentials. You can import
or load shared connection definitions from an external file, and export
definitions to a file.
To open the Host Connections view, click
Window > Manage
Connections from the workbench menu bar. The following
example screen capture shows the Host Connections view from the CICS
Explorer. There are four connection types shown:
- CICS Management Interface and CICSPlex SM Data Interface, under
the connection category of CICS System Management
- z/OS FTP and z/OSMF, under the connection category of z/OS
One connection is defined for each connection type and all connections,
with the exception of the z/OSMF connection, are associated with a
credential. The credential is indicated in parenthesis after the connection
name.
In the Credentials section two credentials are shown.
