  1. Click the Zowe icon on the left side bar of your VS Code window.

  2. Click the + symbol in tree view of Zowe Explorer.

  3. Select Create a New Team Configuration File when prompted in the input box shown.

  4. If no workspace is opened a global configuration will be created in your ~/.zowe directory and opened in the VS Code text editor. If a workspace is opened a following prompt will be presented for the user to select global or project level config, a project level config will be created in the top level of the workspace. After selecting the appropriate file, the file will be opened in the text editor.

  5. Add host and port properties to the loaded file after creating the configuration file.
