Exporting connections
You can export one or more connections to an external file to back them up or to share with other users. If you save the connection file on a shared disk, or upload it to a web server, users can load the connection details into their z/OS® Explorer. Any changes to the shared connection file are picked up automatically the next time the user starts z/OS Explorer.
You can now share your connections with other users. If you place the file in a central location, other users can load or import the connections into their copy of z/OS Explorer.
It is possible, but not advisable, to edit the file in a text editor. If you change the connection information in the file, you must maintain the structure, otherwise the import, or load might fail. The connection IDs are generated and used by z/OS Explorer, and any changes to the IDs might cause the connections to fail.
