Customize CONNECT:Direct Initialization Parameters

Your product region uses the CONNECT:Direct interface program DMCHLAPI to interface with a CONNECT:Direct region and must sign on to that region. Because CONNECT:Direct places limits on the number of batch users that can be signed on concurrently, you should increase this limit to let the extra users sign on.

To customize each managed CONNECT:Direct region

1. Increase the value of the MAXBATCH or the MAXUSERS initialization parameter as follows:
   • If the current value of MAXBATCH is zero, add 1 to the value of MAXUSERS.
   • If the current value of MAXBATCH is not zero, add 1 to the value of MAXBATCH.
2. Ensure that MCS.SIGNON is specified in the initialization parameters.
3. Ensure that the CONNECT:Direct startup JCL procedure and the STATISTICS.EXIT initialization parameter are updated.
4. Restart the CONNECT:Direct region.
