V1.1.1 adds a new connection type which z/OSMF and is required to view active jobs. This depends on z/OSMF and specifically requires z/OSMF at 1.13. V1.1.1 still supports FTP connections but with the limitations they have had previously which are relieved with the new connection type. If you try it with 1.12 or earlier you get in Explorer IZE0105E Connection failed with exception null. The response from the support forum for Explorer was
RESTful access to the JES facilities in z/OSMF requires z/OSMF V1.13, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work on V1.12. That said, I'd have hoped that the error message might have been more helpful.

I don't think CICS Explorer depends on any interfaces provided by z/OSMF. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
