About this task

When you are logged on to the user interface, and are successfully connected to a hub monitoring server, you can use Hub Connectivity Administration to browse other hub connections that are available. While browsing the available hubs, you can select and connect to a different hub. Finally you can use the workspace to save the newly specified hub connection to your profile, either for the current session only, or to your profile for future sessions.

  1. Go to the Hub Connectivity Administration workspace.
    To go to Hub Connectivity Administration workspace, enter the HUB command, select Tools > Current Hub Information from the menu bar or move your cursor over HUB in the drawer and press Enter.
    The Hub Connectivity Administration workspace is displayed.
