Using InfoConnect, you can connect to hosts directly from your desktop. If your enterprise uses a centralized management server you can connect to sessions through that server.
To access a host, you need to open a session on that host. In InfoConnect, you can create a session document that allows you to configure and reuse your session.
Start the InfoConnect Workspace. (All Programs > Micro Focus InfoConnect > Utilities > InfoConnect Workspace.)
If it does not open automatically, open the Create New Document dialog box.
The steps depend on your user interface mode.
