Issue Commands From the CA-GSS/ISERVE Control Panel

If you are issuing commands from the ISPF-based CA‑GSS/ISERVE Control Panel, use this format:

command [parameters]

A sample ISPF Control Panel follows:

------------------- CA‑GSS/ISERVE Control Panel --------------------------- ==> => PAGE Target node: * ssid: * Host node: B1MAIN ssid ISRV ===========================================================================

These fields appear on the ISPF Control Panel:

==>

Command entry area.

=>

SCROLL field. Use this field to indicate how the screen should be scrolled by UP and DOWN commands. Valid scroll amounts are PAGE, HALF, and CSR. See your ISPF manuals for additional information.

Target node

GoalNet node where the command is to be processed. If it contains a blank or an asterisk (*), the command is not shipped over GoalNet.

(Target) ssid

Subsystem ID where the ISERVE that will execute the command is running.

If you omit the target node, CA‑GSS uses the subsystem ID for the ISPF session from which the command was issued.

Host node

GoalNet node of the ISERVE that receives the initial command request. This field is for informational purposes and cannot be modified.

(Host) ssid

Identifies the subsystem ID of the ISERVE that will process the initial command request. You can specify any ISERVE that is executing on the same CPU as your ISPF session. If a target node or target subsystem ID is specified, it is the responsibility of the host ISERVE to transmit the request, receive the results, and then return them to the Control Panel.

The rest of the panel displays the results of the executed command. If the returned data exceeds the size of your screen, use standard ISPF scrolling commands (UP, DOWN, TOP) to position the display.
