Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS, Version 11.1, User's Guide

Logon dialog

A logon to z/OS is required to connect to the Application Performance Analyzer remote repository. The logon dialog is displayed where the connection Host Address, Host Port, TSO id, and password or pass phrase must be entered to connect to z/OS. The port number must be unique and not used by another plugin.

The connection settings group includes a checkbox to indicate a secure connection is used. When this is checked, a keystore and keystore pass phrase, located in the Network Connections Preferences are required for the secure connection to z/OS.

The address, port and TSO user ID are saved as a Network Connection Preference the first time they are entered. If any are changed in a subsequent login, they are not saved as a preference, but kept only for the connection session. The Network Connection Preferences page includes the settings to change and save these preferences.

The Logon dialog also includes an option to save the password. If this option is checked, the password is stored and automatically filled-in for future connections to z/OS. The saved password is deleted if the Save password box is subsequently unchecked.

When connecting to the remote repository on z/OS, Application Performance Analyzer might display informational or error messages. If "Automatic update notification" is selected in Workspace Preferences, Application Performance Analyzer will check if a new version of the GUI is available for download, and if so, will display a message to the user. Application Performance Analyzer will also display error messages when it finds an incompatibility between the GUI version and the z/OS version.
