Setting default preferences

When you create a z/OS connection, you specify server launcher settings on the z/OS UNIX Files page of the New Remote z/OS System Connection wizard.

The z/OS UNIX Files page is populated with default settings from the Server Launcher Settings preference page. If default settings for the z/OS system to connect to are unspecified on this page, the general default settings for all z/OS systems are used. If you must modify the default preferences, you can change these settings on the Server Launcher Settings preference page.

To modify the default preferences for server launcher settings, complete the following steps, complete the following steps:

In the workbench, click Window > Preferences to open the Preferences window.
In the left navigation pane, double-click the Remote Systems node to open the tree of available preference pages.
From the Remote Systems tree, click z/OS > Server Launcher Settings to open the Server Launcher Settings preference page.
In the Remote Server Launcher Settings section, click Add to open the Remote Server Launcher Settings dialog box.
In the System Name field, type the name of the remote z/OS system to set the Server Launcher Settings preferences for.
Click OK to close the dialog box and add the preferences for this remote z/OS system to the Remote Server Launcher Settings table.
Click Apply to save your selections in the preference page.

These settings are used as the default server launcher settings preferences for the connection to the specified z/OS system.
