Multi-Version Switch
(MVS)

Multi-Version Switch is an integration tool that supports multiple versions of PC*MILER|Connect installed on the same server.

Multi-Version Switch is a high-end function of PC*MILER|Connect that serves as an integration tool designed to simultaneously support multiple versions of PC*MILER that are installed on one server or on several different servers. Instead of manually querying data from each individual version, the Multi-Version Switch functions as the main connection point to programmatically gain access to the PC*MILER version of choice.
