Compare and Synchronization Monitor uses a configuration file as input to its processor. This configuration file,
MFMON.CFG, contains the necessary statements to allow
Compare and Synchronization Monitor to set up the proper synchronization between any number of workstation directories and mainframe data sets, or source code control systems. This configuration file must be located in the directory that you start up the monitor in. This is your current working directory.
You can configure
MFMON.CFG in two ways:
- Using the graphical interactive configuration tools. This is the simplest and recommended method for updating
MFMON.CFG in most cases. The configuration tools are accessed from the configure options pulldown or the monitor, and take you through the necessary steps to define your environment. Typically you would click the add button on the bottom of the dialog box to add a new relationship. Online help is available for all dialog boxes within the configuration tool by clicking the
Help button.
- Manual editing. Although you can use the graphical tools to control all aspects of the Compare and
Compare and Synchronization Monitor's behavior, there are situations where it is quicker to edit
MFMON.CFG manually. For instance, you might want to add a large number of data sets, or you might want to maintain different versions of MFMON.CFG for different purposes.
