Problem:

customer does not wish to use MFA's Data Connect feature, and has no need for the Data Connect server to run

Resolution:

Comment out the ASGROUP=MFAS section in the SERVERS member to prevent MFAS from being started.  '*' in col 1 makes the line a comment:

*<ASGROUP=MFAS>

*ASPROC=MFAS

*ASJOB=*

*ASSERVER=MFARSC00

*ASMINIMUM=1

*ASMAXIMUM=1

*ASGROUPID=0

*<END>

Also turn off Data Connect in the PARMS:

MFA FEATURE = NO
