Add a New Server Connection

Before adding a new server connection, you need the host and port details of the CA InterTest™ server to which you want to connect.

You can import server settings from a shared resource or export the settings, which are already defined for a server connection.

Follow these steps:

1. Select CA InterTest™, Add New Server.
   The New Server Connection dialog opens.

2. Enter the details for the new server connection.
   The following field values are required to create a new server connection:

   • Name
     Specifies the name of the server connection. You can use uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters, and embedded spaces when entering a value in this field.

   • Host
     Specifies the z/OS host name assigned by your installation. This is the host name used for TSO or CICS logon.

   • Port
     Specifies the TCP/IP port number of the InterTest server running on z/OS UNIX System Services (USS). If there is a default port number displayed, verify it is correct. The port number will be updated in the Preferences dialog.

   • Use as Default Server
     Specifies that this server is selected when you access the Batch Link Queue or Schedule Table.

   • (Optional) User ID
     Specifies the user ID for logging on to a z/OS system. Enter your user ID in this field.

   • (Optional) Save Password
     Specifies whether you want to save the password. If you save the password, the application preloads the saved password into the Logon dialog whenever you are prompted to enter your user ID and password. If you do not save it, you are prompted for your password whenever you log on.. Until the password is deliberately reset or a logon fails, you are prompted for a user ID and password only when you first use a server. Check this box to save your password.

3. Click Finish.
   The new server is created and added to the list of servers in the Servers view. The Servers view shows the details of the new server.
