Managing CMOS Processors

CA Automation Point's Hardware Access Facility (HAF) and the APCMOSI REXX program are remote HMC console applications that interact with the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or Service Element (SE) from the Automation Point Desktop environment. Use HAF and the APCMOSI Rexx program to manage CMOS processors from the Automation Point Desktop environment. This chapter discusses the following:

Establishing connectivity between CA Automation Point server and the HMC/SE.
Establishing the HMC Console Application Programming Interfaces (API) runtime environment on the CA Automation Point server.
Issuing HMC console commands using the APCMOSI Rexx program.
Monitoring HMC status messages using HAF
