Use of Migration ID Exits to Customize Console Management

When you are using Extended MCS (EXTMCS) consoles, not all software can handle a named console. Therefore, regions can request a migration ID (as a pseudo-console ID) for an EXTMCS console. Because migration IDs are limited to a pool of 150 across a sysplex, determine the need for a migration ID on a case-by-case basis.

Note: You can use the CONSOLES parameter group in Customizer to set the various console parameters.
