A REXX API interface in CA Automation Point allows it to communicate with CA OPS/MVS. This general-purpose interface uses CAICCI as its communication protocol and allows CA Automation Point to act as a remote Multi-System Facility (MSF).
CAICCI (CAI Common Communications Interface) is a communications facility that allows CA solutions to communicate with one another. CAICCI is one member of the group of routines that comprises CA Common Services. CA Automation Point uses TCP/IP to communicate with CA OPS/MVS.
MSF is an optional feature of CA OPS/MVS that allows multiple copies of the product running on different z/OS images to communicate with each other using a variety of communication protocols. The MSF can also be used as an interface for communication between CA OPS/MVS and CA Automation Point. For details about the MSF, see the CA OPS/MVS documentation.
The following is an illustration of the components involved in the communication between CA OPS/MVS on the mainframe and CA Automation Point on Windows.
