APAR status
Closed as program error.
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
