Connecting with an Exploration Tool using Python
To be able to connect the exploration tool of your choice to the Python Connector agent, you must first import the connector Python module: mzconnector.py. The connector module, mzconnector.py, is extracted to MZ_HOME/python during installation. For easy access, you can copy this module to a directory on your local machine, which you will connect from.
