Using the CA OPS/MVS Interface › Recycling the CA OPS/MVS Communications Interface

Recycling the CA OPS/MVS Communications Interface

You can stop and restart, or recycle, the CA OPS/MVS interface independently of the CA Automation Point desktop. Recycling the interface is useful in the following situations:

• You have added or removed OPS MSF nodes from the CA OPS/MVS Interface configuration (by choosing Expert Interface, Automation, Events Interface, CA‑OPS/MVS Interface from the Configuration Manager main window)
• CAICCI communications have been disrupted
• One or more of your CA OPS/MVS hosts have been reconfigured to communicate with your CA Automation Point product.

You can recycle the CA-OPS/MVS Communications Interface manually, programmatically, or automatically (based on an event).

To manually recycle the CA OPS/MVS interface

1. From the CA Automation Point desktop, go to the CA-OPS/MVS Messages window.
2. Select Action, Recycle OPS Communications Interface.

To programmatically recycle the CA OPS/MVS interface

1. Run an AP REXX program to issue the following command:

   address AXC 'SESSCMD /@"RECYCLE_OPS"/ SESSION(AXC)'
   

To automatically recycle the CA OPS/MVS interface based on a monitored event

1. Write a CA Automation Point rule to recycle the interface. For example:

   MSGID(RECYCLEOPS) SESSCMD((@"RECYCLE_OPS") SESSION(AXC))
   

   MSGID

   Specifies the initial identifying character string of an event monitored by CA Automation Point reported as a message.

   SESSCMD
