Sending OPCOM Messages

The Operator Communication Manager is a process for controlling communication between a process and a system operator. The manager lets you automatically send an OPCOM message upon job completion. This feature is part of the notification facility. You can send an automatic OPCOM message from the DCL User Interface by invoking the qualifier /OPCOM. (You can also specify that OPCOM messages be sent in the DECwindows Auxiliary Options dialog box.)

The OPCOM class that the manager uses for notification is the CLUSTER OPERATOR class. The operator messages are sent to an OPC$B_MS_TARGET of OPC$M_NM_CLUSTER.

For example:

SCHEDULE> MODIFY job-name/OPCOM
SCHEDULE> RUN job-name

This command will result in automatic notification when the job is complete.
