CARMA requires a connection to a CARMA host in order to retrieve SCM information from the host. CARMA uses the connection services of the Rational Developer for System z Remote System Explorer (RSE) to connect to the host. To create a new CARMA connection, follow these steps:
.The New CARMA Connection wizard opens.


Choose the RSE connection you want to create a CARMA connection from using the drop-down list and provide a name for the new CARMA connection. By default, the name of the existing RSE connection is used for the name of the CARMA connection. This is the label that will be used for the connection in the CARMA repositories view. Skip to step 8.
Note: If this is the first time that you have attempted to create a connection in RSE, you will not see the dialog below yet, but will instead be prompted to create a profile before you can create the new connection.


In the JES tab:

In the Server Launcher Settings tab, specify the default method for launching the remote server:
Note: You must start the server daemon using the root user ID. If you do not start the server using the root user ID, it cannot authenticate users who are trying to connect to the server.
