Cross-Memory Services Interface (XMS)

The cross-memory services interface manages several interfaces; this allows you to control online access with a single operator interface. Advantages of the interfaces are discussed later in this chapter.

The parameters in the startup procedure for the cross-memory task allow you to control:

• The maximum number of users allowed on the system
• Whether to cancel users when they are inactive for a specified time (CANCEL and LONGWAIT)

Note: For information about startup parameters, see Installing Cross-Memory Services later in this chapter.

The operator commands available to modify the cross-memory task allow you to:

• Cancel users
• Suspend additional logons
• List online usage statistics
• Modify selected cross-memory startup JCL parameters

Note: For more information about online interface, see the chapter "Online Interface Administration" in the Reference Guide.
