The CICS® TG plug-in provides a Gateway daemons view and a CICS connections view in the CICS TG perspective of the CICS Explorer™. You can view the status and activity of one or more Gateway daemons running on any platform in the Gateway daemons view. Use the CICS connections view to see the connectivity between CICS servers and one or more Gateway daemons.
When you switch to the CICS TG perspective, you obtain fast access to the new views. Each view includes a number of attributes by default. You can add or remove attributes as required. You can see the full set of attributes in the Properties view. The attributes are grouped into predefined categories.
The ability to create a composite perspective is a powerful feature of the CICS Explorer. You can add the views provided by the CICS TG plug-in for CICS Explorer to other perspectives. You can customize the CICS TG perspective to add other CICS Explorer views.
If you are new to the Eclipse interface, you can read about Eclipse in the Concepts topic in the CICS Explorer User Guide in the help.
