You can also manage saved affinity reports, threadsafe reports, and transaction group files in folders in the CICS Explorer® workspace. - Resource Connections view
You can use the Resource Connections view to display the connections between transactions and programs, or between CICS, DB2, IMS, or MQ resources. - Resource Visualization view
Use the Resource Visualization view to display a visual representation of programs and transactions as groups. - Scanner view
The Scanner view displays the results of running the IA Scanners: Load Module Scanner and CSECT Scanner. The results are sorted by data set name. - Show Resources view
The Show Resources view displays resources from a number of sources, including searches run from the toolbar, from the Queries view, and from the Regions view. - Transactions view

From any view where a transaction or program is shown in the CICS IA plug-in, you can explore resources further to see which resources the transaction is using and in which regions. - Web Services view
The Web Services view displays an alphabetic list of all web services known to CICS IA, both inbound and outbound. - DB2 errors
You might get some error messages that contain DB2 SQL error codes. DB2 SQL error codes are created by interactions with the DB2 database and are out of the control of the CICS IA plug-in. - Enabling hover help for screen readers
The CICS IA plug-in uses hover help to provide you with extra information; however, this help might not be readily available when using a screen reader such as JAWS
