LINK DEFINE The LINK DEFINE command defines an Inter-NET/MASTER Connection (INMC)
link definition record and stores it in global memory. INMC is the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS service that allows multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS and
SOLVE management services systems to be connected.
A complete link definition consists of three parts: a link definition record, defined
using the LINK DEFINE command; one or more session definition records, each of
which is defined using the SESSION DEFINE command; and one or more unit
definition records, each of which is defined using the UNIT DEFINE command.
Complete link definitions are required on both systems connected by an INMC link.
