SESSION DEFINE The SESSION DEFINE command defines an Inter-NET/MASTER Connection (INMC)
session 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.
Before a session type can be used by a link, all of its subordinate units must also be
defined.
