Communicating with CMOS Processors

All remote HMC console applications such as CA Automation Point must communicate with CMOS processors through the associated HMC or SE. After communications between CA Automation Point and the HMC or SE are established, you can direct IPL type commands either manually or automatically from the Automation Point Desktop environment to any of the mainframe systems that the HMC or SE manages. You can also receive HMC/SE status messages for monitoring by CA Automation Point. If you are operating with more than one HMC, you can configure CA Automation Point to communicate with multiple HMC workstations.

The following illustration show how CA Automation Point connects to HMC and SE to manage mainframe machines.
