Problem conclusion
With this PTF the following support and enhancements are provided: Passphrases -------------------------------------------- This PTF introduces support for entering passphrases up to 100 characters to connect to the Db2 for z/OS database. The passphrase can be entered within the DATABASE SETTINGS section in the Database Settings field under the 'Password' field. A new password visibility toggle button has been added next to the field to help assist verification of text input. Clearing existing database credentials -------------------------------------------- This PTF introduces a new button in the DATABASE SETTINGS section within the Settings / Database Settings panel labelled 'Clear User ID and Password'. Clicking this button will clear out the 'User ID' and 'Password' fields within the section. The Database Settings section can then be saved with unset database credentials to clear out the existing credentials saved in the IBM zERT Network Analyzer. The plug-in will not attempt to connect to Db2 for z/OS and will operate with limited functionality until new database credentials are entered.
