Sending Data from CA Automation Point to CA OPS/MVS

The CA Automation Point ADDRESS OPS host environment provides one-way communication from CA Automation Point to CA OPS/MVS. ADDRESS OPS provides the following functionality:

LIST

Returns a list of CA OPS/MVS hosts that are currently configured on the issuing CA Automation Point workstation

OPER

Sends a z/OS system command execution request to the CA OPS/MVS host

OSFTSO

Sends a TSO command execution request to the CA OPS/MVS Operator Server Facility (OSF) component

WTO

Sends a message to the CA OPS/MVS Multi-System Facility (MSF) component

See the Command and Keyword Reference Guide for further information about the ADDRESS OPS commands.

CA Automation Point sends data to CA OPS/MVS asynchronously, without acknowledging that the data was received by CA OPS/MVS. If an acknowledgement is desired, you can write CA OPS/MVS rules to trap the responses from the invoked REXX program and forward them to CA Automation Point. For details, see the CA OPS/MVS documentation.
