Batch Connection    (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
A Sun MTP region may be configured for connection to a Sun MBM node. Such a
connection allows processing of batch jobs that access VSAM datasets present
in the Sun MTP region. The Sun MBM Connection datapoint indicates if the
monitored Sun MTP region has been configured for connection to a Sun MBM node. 

The Sun MTP VSAM Configuration Table (VCT) may be updated to establish
a Sun MBM Node connection. This datapoint represents the 'Connect to Sun MBM Node'
field of the VCT.

VALUES
If the Sun MTP region is not configured for connection to a Sun MBM Node, 
a value of "Not Configured" is displayed. If the Sun MTP region is 
configured, a value of "Configured" is displayed.


INTERPRETATION
If the Sun MTP region is not configured for connection to a Sun MBM node, 
batch jobs submitted to Sun MBM cannot access VSAM datasets maintained
in that system. A Sun MTP region configured for connection to a Sun MBM
node does not guarantee an established connection. The specified Sun MBM
node must also be configured to allow a connection. The connection
can be verified by examining system messages written to the Sun MTP
system log file, $KIXSYS/unikixmain.log.
