Error description

  • IBM Explorer for z/OS - zExpl client
    
    In the Host Connections view > Add a new Connection for
    Application Delivery Foundation for z Systems there is no check
    for duplicate connection names.
    
    In contrast, the dialog to add a new connection from the
    Remote Systems view does check for duplicate connection names.
    In the Remote systems view > add new connection every connection
    
    name must be unique.
    
    The CICS connections all use the dialog that allows duplicate
    connection names.
    

Local fix

  •  Use unique connection names.
    

Problem summary

  • The Host Connections dialog for adding new connections does not
    check for duplicate names.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Because the Host Connections dialog for new connections doesn't
    check for duplicate names, users are able to create multiple
    connections with the same name.
    

Temporary fix
