Remote System Connections

Default remote system connections are not limited to z/Server connections. Theoretically all system types using the Eclipse Remote System Explorer framework (RSE) can be defined. But in practice, specific remote system connections require additional attributes to work properly.

Syntax

remoteSystemConnection	systemTypeID*	The ID of the remote system type. The ID for z/Server connections is `com.microfocus.awm.zos`
	connectionName*	The unique name of the connection as seen in the Remote Systems view.
	hostName*	The host name of the connection.
	port*	The server port.
	defaultUserID	The default user ID that is used when a connection is being established. This can be changed in the credentials dialog box.
