Using Initialization Scripts

An initialization script recovers the console, if possible, when processing stops because CA Automation Point cannot determine the console state. Initialization scripts are most useful for applications that a user ID or device can log on to, such as a Remote Console/MVS VTAM console or a z/OS guest under VM.

Normally, a session defined as type MCS uses the initialization script file MCSINIT.scr (supplied with CA Automation Point) to issue the PA2 key when the console is in the initialization state.
