About this task
After you create a connection to an
IBM® i server,
you can easily connect and disconnect. To connect:
What to do next
You can monitor and change the properties of your connection
in the Properties view of the Remote System Explorer perspective.
Some values are read-only, and you can change others, such as the
description or the server name. Although each Remote System Explorer
subsystem maintains its own list of properties, three properties (connected
or disconnected, port, and user ID) are shared among all the subsystems
belonging to this
IBM i connection.
If you change any of these properties in one subsystem, the other
subsystems reflect the change. Select a subsystem and check the Properties
view to see the shared properties for all of your subsystems. For
example, the
Connected value is
Yes,
No,
or
Offline for all of your subsystems under
one connection.
To disconnect from the server, right-click either
your connection name or one of your subsystems, such as Objects,
and select Disconnect.
If you have difficulties
connecting and disconnecting from the server, see the related link
for troubleshooting information.
