Network connections preferences

The Network connections preferences dialog is not available when the Application Performance Analyzer CICS Explorer Connections plug-in has been installed. In this case, you must use the CICS Explorer Credentials and Connections dialogs to establish communication with Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS as described later in this chapter.

Network connections preferences include property settings related to z/OS communications and network connectivity.
Note: Application Performance Analyzer GUI must be exited and restarted for SSL connection changes to take effect.
