Before you synchronize data between systems, ensure that the communications link for the data group is active. This procedure verifies the primary transfer definition used by the data group. If your configuration requires multiple data groups, be sure to check communications for each data group definition.
Do the following:
From the MIMIX Basic Main Menu, type an 11 (Configuration menu) and press Enter.
From the MIMIX Configuration Menu, type a 4 (Work with data group definitions) and press Enter.
From the Work with Data Group Definitions display, type an 11 (Verify communications link) next to the data group you want and press F4.
The Verify Communications Link display appears. Ensure that the values shown for the prompts are what you want.
To start the check, press Enter.
You should see a message "VFYCMNLNK command completed successfully."
If your data group definition specifies a secondary transfer definition, use the following procedure to check all communications links.
