You can select a different system as your central system at any time. The central system must be a system to which you are directly connected. For the latest iSeries™ Navigator functions, your central system should be running i5/OS™ Version 5, Release 4 (V5R4).
If your PC is running V5R2 or V5R3 iSeries Navigator, and you want to select a central system that is running OS/400® V5R1, you must have the following fixes (also known as PTFs) installed on the V5R1 system: SI01375, SI01376, SI01377, SI01378, and SI01838. Without these fixes, you will not be able to connect to the V5R1 system as a central system.
To change your central system, follow these steps:
- Right-click Management Central and select Change Central System.
- Use the Change Central System window to choose a system from your list of connected systems.
- If the system you want to use as your central system is not currently connected to your iSeries Navigator network, right-click your active environment (typically "My Connections" ) and choose . When the new system is connected, you can change your central system to the new system.
The
central system that you use should be equal to or at a later release than
the releases of the endpoints that are being used.
