Automating SYSPLEX, MCS, and RCS

CA Automation Point uses a similar method to automate SYSPLEX, MCS, and RCS sessions. (JES3MCS is a synonym for SYSPLEX.) Use the red command area or Command dialog to manually enter commands into an automated session.

Keep the following points in mind:

• Do not manually issue K commands (such as k e,n) that directly affect the messages on the emulation window while automation is active in the session. Other K commands that do not affect the messages (such as K Q and K E,D) are acceptable.
• Do not create a display area while automation is active in the session. Doing so produces unpredictable results.
• By default, keyboard input is inhibited while automation is active on these consoles.
