Warning

Important

To use Topaz Workbench, you must define an HCI connection and connect Topaz Workbench to a mainframe system. Connections are defined within the Preferences dialog box, which is available from the Window menu by selecting Preferences > Compuware > Host Explorer > Host Connections.
A Host Communication Interface (HCI) connection between the mainframe host and Topaz Workbench should have already been established during the installation and configuration of Topaz Workbench.
Contact your system administrator to obtain specific connection credentials for your site for establishing Host Connections. (For system administrators, see the appropriate installation guide for further information on installing and configuring the HCI.)
