CA MIC

CA MIC provides cross-system command routing from any z/OS or z/VM command source. Use CA MIC to import messages from external systems and route them to local destinations.

CA MIC performs the following tasks:

• Consolidates all messages from multiple images into a single stream and delivers these messages to various user-defined destinations. The destinations include MCS and EMCS consoles, SYSLOG, TSO users, and vendor software products like CA OPS/MVS and CA Remote Console.
• Selects which messages are delivered to each destination based on various selection criteria. The selection criteria include message type, message ID, job name, route code, and the monitor type.
• Provides user-defined command routing to any combination of systems in the complex from various command sources. The sources include MCS and EMCS consoles, TSO users, and vendor software products such as CA Remote Console, CA OPS/MVS, and CA SYSVIEW.
• Allows your operators to identify the source system of a cross-system message. CA MIC can modify the color and highlighting of messages that are based on the originating system or sysplex. Operators can edit the job ID field of messages to contain the two-character alias of the originating system.
• Consolidates geographically dispersed systems for the enterprise console control using CA Common Services for z/OS.
