PI51725: MAKE "DEFAULT" INITIAL TARGET BE FROM THE MAINFRAME SYSTEM USED TO LOG IN TO THE ACTIVITY BROWSER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• When the user logs in to the Browser client, they have to select
  a mainframe system to authenticate against. It would improve
  usability if the "Target" pulldown defaulted to a QM Subsystem
  that is on that system.
  
  In particular, take the situation where there are two systems,
  SYSA, and SYSB, and the user has different passwords on each. If
  the user initially logs in using, say, SYSB, and the Target
  pulldown currently defaults to SYSA, the current implementation
  will result the user immediately being presented with second
  login dialog, looking like they have to login to SYSA. It is not
  obvious to the user that they can cancel out of this second
  login dialog.
