Customize CA-GSS for CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation

CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation uses CA‑GSS facilities to access other CA Technologies products and makes its facilities available to other products through CA‑GSS facilities.

GSS provides the potential, with its REXX IMOD functionality, to setup integrations between the following CA products:

• CA Sysview
• CA OPS/MVS
• CA Jobtrac
• CA View

There may also be other integration paths available between these and other products and if you decide to do product integration, you should consult the product documentation for alternative methods or check with CA Technical Support. The GSS method of integration may have been superceded by more advanced techniques.

To customize CA-GSS for CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation

1. Make sure that the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation OPGLEVMG communication module is available. This module resides in the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation Load Library. This library must be in the APF list.
2. Provide appropriate CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation security rules so that CA‑GSS can utilize CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation facilities. For example, provide an OPSCMD security rule to allow z/OS commands to be issued through the GSS OPER ADDRESS environment.
3. Modify your GSSA system PROCLIB member.
   • If the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation OPGLEVMG load module is not in a LINKLIST Library, include its library as a STEPLIB in your GSSA system PROCLIB member.
   • As needed, modify the CA‑GSS initialization parameters that affect CA‑GSS' CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation support. Examples of these parameters are contained in the OPSMVS member of the CAW0OPTN data set.

     Most parameters in the OPSMVS member are commented out. To activate one of them, replace its leading asterisk (*) with a blank.

     You can copy the contents of the OPSMVS member to your RUNPARM member, or you can simply provide an INCLUDE OPSMVS statement.

     The SSID parameter identifies the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation system that should process associated ADDRESS and function requests.

     The ADDRESS parameter makes up to four ADDRESS environments and a function call available to REXX IMODs.

     With respect to the ADDRESS parameter, note the following:

     • These ADDRESS environments and a function call are provided in the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation OPGLEVMG load module.
     • If you want to make the OPSVALUE() function available, you also need to provide the appropriate ADDRESS parameter.
     • CA‑distributed IMODs expect the address names OPER, OPSREQ, AOF, OSF, and OPSVALUE. If you use other names, provide ALTNAME parameters to define OPER, OPSREQ, AOF, OSF, and OPSVALUE.
     • The load module name reflects the name as shipped on the CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation tape. Make sure that this load module resides in an APF‑authorized library that is accessible to CA‑GSS.
