Associate FTP connection to CICS CM connection

Associate an FTP and/or z/OSMF connection with a CICS Configuration Manager connection to ensure batch jobs generated by the CICS CM views are submitted to the host z/OS where the CICS CM server is running.

Current behavior is for the Submit button to submit the job to the current FTP connection. If that connection is not to the same z/OS system where the CICS CM server is running, the job is successfully submitted to the wrong system and the requested configuration change does not occur.

    This is not something that has been requested by any other CICS CM customer so we are not able to address at this time.
