Target Console Pool

A target console is a console through which CA MIC can issue commands on behalf of cross-system command issuers. The command response is then directed by the command processor to this console, CA MIC then redirects this response back to the original cross-system command issuer.

For CA MIC to be able to service operators issuing cross-system commands to a given target system, the target system must have a pool of target consoles through which these commands can be issued on the target system.

This section describes how this pool of consoles is built, what types of consoles are allocated to it, and how many to allocate. There are two different methods for building this pool of target consoles:

• Dynamic Allocation-CA MIC builds the target console pool automatically
• Direct Allocation-You build the target console pool

We recommend that you use the Dynamic Allocation method.
