CICSplex Explorer view
The CICSplex Explorer view shows the details for the CICSplex in the current scope.
The initial view shows the CICSplexes in the connection. The plus icon (an arrow on Linux) next to the CICSplex indicates that there are CICS® systems that are defined to the CICSplex. Two numbers in parentheses follow the CICSplex name. The second number indicates the total number of CICS systems in the CICSplex, and the first number indicates the number of active CICS systems.

Clicking the plus icon (an arrow on Linux) next to a CICSplex name expands the content to show the Workload Management section, the CICS systems, and the CICS system groups in the CICSplex. Active CICS systems are shown with their APPLID in parentheses after the system name. Inactive systems are shown without an APPLID and with their icon grayed out.
