CA MIC Message Sharing

CA MIC provides cross-system command routing from any z/OS or z/VM console and allows messages to be imported from external systems and routed to local consoles.

CA MIC facilitates global console management by allowing operations to control and customize the flow of console information so that systems can be monitored from a single point with conveniently accessible console output. This improves operations productivity and performance, and ensures that all systems are monitored consistently.

CA MIC consists of the following facilities:

Global Command and Message Facility (GCMF)

Allows you to route messages and commands to any or all systems in a complex.

Intersystem Communication Facility (ICMF)

Allows you to route cross-system commands and messages using an interface with the CA‑L‑Serv product.
