Editing or viewing a BatchPlex definition
To edit or view a BatchPlex in the control data set
- Access the MainView Batch Optimizer Objects List panel.
- Position the cursor in the action entry field to the left of your choice of BatchPlex, type E (Edit), and press Enter.
The BatchPlex Registration dialog displays the BatchPlex Definition panel, which lists the MVS image definitions in a BatchPlex. The list is alphabetized by definition name. For each image, the list indicates the associated subsystem IDs and the number of Extended Job Execution Subsystem (MBOX) initiators.
You can also use the BatchPlex Definition panel to specify or change BatchPlex information, including the names of policies to be activated at BatchPlex initialization for the listed MVS images.
The following figure shows an example of the BatchPlex Definition panel in which several MVS images are listed.
