you can have a Global Preference File by making a EQAOPTS member which you can put in all our CICSPLEX CICS regions in the DFHRPL DD.
see doc on this in the customization guide:
EQAXOPT GPFDSN,'GROUP1.COMMON.DTOOL.PREFS'

Hi,
That did it. Jumping in joy - it was a long time coming.
To really put a cherry on top... Is it possible to setup only one profile across a CICSPLEX.
Thank you very much.

You need a GO at the end of your preference file. Otherwise it just sits at the first statement. Other than that it should work.

Hi,
I am trying to debug a CICS program executed by other users, but I do not want the Debug screen to be displayed. The idea is to be able to log any necessary details without having to interrupt the users.
I have tried closing all the screens, but the following message is being generated:
EQA1002I One window must be open at all times.
