ACTIVATE Command

The ACTIVATE command sends a request to the CA Automation Point interface to request activation of the CCI connection to the MSF node specified on the SYSTEM keyword.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS OPS "ACTIVATE SYSTEM(MSF system name)" 
SYSTEM

Specifies the CA OPS/MVS node name that is defined in the Selected MSF nodes section of the CA OPS/MVS Event Traffic Configuration dialog. This name corresponds to the name used by the CA OPS/MVS Multi-System Facility (MSF) to identify itself to CAICCI. You can specify only one CA OPS/MVS system per ACTIVATE command.

Usage Notes:

This command is asynchronous in nature. It does not wait for the request to be carried out by the underlying logic of the CA OPS/MVS interface. Thus, a return code (rc) of 0 means only that the command syntax was correct; it does not imply that activation of the specified MSF host was successful. Therefore, this command should only be used for interactive troubleshooting and not be relied upon in automation. Issue an ADDRESS OPS LIST command to display the status of the CCI connection and thereby determine whether the command was successful.

Example:

This example command attempts to activate remote host OPS01P:

address OPS "ACTIVATE SYSTEM(OPS01P)"
