Editing or viewing an MVS image

To edit or view an MVS image definition in a BatchPlex

1. Access the BatchPlex Definition panel.
2. Position the cursor in the action entry image, type Enter.

   You can use the values that override the BatchPlex global options for an MVS image. These values include the started task names and subsystem IDs for the following subsystems:

   • BMC Software Primary Subsystem (subsystem ID BMCP)

   • MainView Batch Optimizer Subsystem (subsystem ID MBOS)

   • Extended Job Execution Subsystem (subsystem ID MBOX)

   The MVS Image Definition pop-up also includes an option to start subsystems automatically during BatchPlex initialization, a startup commands member name, and the number of initiators to be used on this image to split batch job steps.

   The following figure shows an example of the MVS Image Definition pop-up, where the definition indicates that the values of the BatchPlex global options should be used for this MVS image.

   Note

   The MVS Image Definition pop-up panel is scrollable and might include a More: field.
