Displaying the Server Nodes

To manage the contents of a server node, you first have to expand an operating system node in the Mainframe Navigation view.

The features which can be used depend on your ISPF profile and your security system on the mainframe.

To display the server nodes

1. In the Mainframe Navigation view, expand the top-level node for the environment that you have mapped.

   The operating system nodes are then shown in the tree.

2. Expand an operating system node to display all defined and active server nodes.

   Example:

   

Logging on to a Server Node

Logging on to a server node is necessary if you want to change your user ID on the mainframe, or if the automatic logon option for the node has been set to "NO" (see also Displaying the Properties of a Node).

1. In the Mainframe Navigation view, select the appropriate server node.

2. Invoke the context menu and choose Logon.

   Or:
   Press CTRL+ALT+L.
