Completing the PC changes

Learn how to complete the changes to the PC by deleting the old configuration and creating a new one.

1. To delete the old configuration, perform these steps:
   1. Select the configuration name (under System i® Connection). This is the name that Operations Console uses to refer to a specific server.
   2. From the Connection menu, click Disconnect. The connection status displays Disconnecting.
   3. Wait for the status to display Disconnected.
   4. Select the configuration name (under System i Connection).
   5. From the Connection menu, click Delete. Optionally, you can press the Delete key.
   6. Click Yes to confirm the deletion if prompted.
2. Close and reopen Operations Console to purge the PC of network data associated with the configuration you are changing.
   Note: It is also suggested that you remove or alter the old entry in the hosts file on the PC. You can do a search for hosts and then use a text editor to edit the file.
3. Create a new configuration using the following steps:
   1. From the Connection menu, select New configuration.
   2. Continue the configuration and enter the new IP data or service host name at the appropriate time.
   3. Complete the rest of the new configuration.
