You can use the Host Connections view to create and manage
system connections and login credentials. You can import or load shared

a file. You can set default connections, and set whether to connect
automatically to default connections at startup.

you are authorized to view and that match the job name prefix and
owner ID that you specify. The number of jobs you can see in the view
depends on the JESENTRYLIMIT value that is set in the FTP server;
the default value is 200. You can expand a job in the view to show
the ddnames that are associated with the spool files, and open the
spool files in an editor view to show the content.

in the view.
