Problem conclusion

• With this PTF the following support and enhancements
  are provided:
  
  Passphrases
  --------------------------------------------
  This PTF introduces support for entering passphrases up
  to 100 characters to connect to the Db2 for z/OS database.
  
  The passphrase can be entered within the DATABASE SETTINGS
  section in the Database Settings field under the 'Password'
  field. A new password visibility toggle button has been added
  next to the field to help assist verification of text input.
  
  Clearing existing database credentials
  --------------------------------------------
  This PTF introduces a new button in the DATABASE SETTINGS
  section within the Settings / Database Settings panel labelled
  'Clear User ID and Password'. Clicking this button will clear
  out the 'User ID' and 'Password' fields within the section.
  
  The Database Settings section can then be saved with unset
  database credentials to clear out the existing credentials
  saved in the IBM zERT Network Analyzer. The plug-in
  will not attempt to connect to Db2 for z/OS and will
  operate with limited functionality until new database
  credentials are entered.
