Validating the Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file

You can validate a Sterling Connect:Direct® Secure Plus parameter file.

Note: You cannot validate a Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file for a Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS® server.

To validate the Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file:

  1. Right-click a Sterling Connect:Direct server or server group and select Configure Server > Secure+ > Secure+ Nodes.
    Note: If this option is disabled, it is likely due to the fact the server requires a secure connection and one is not being used by IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor.
  2. Select the action Validate Parm File.
  3. In the Job Name field, type a name for the configuration job. In the Job Description field, type a description of the configuration job.
  4. Select a timing option for running the job:
    • Now to submit the job immediately.
    • Hold for later to send the job to the job queue with a status of Held.
    Note: Select Hold for later if you are not ready to initiate the Validate Parameter file job.
    • Schedule for later and then specify a time zone and date/time when the job is to run. This option sends the job to the job queue with a status of Scheduled.

    Click Next.

  5. Click Go to Job Viewer to see the job submitted and view the results of the validation, or click Close.
