Issuing Commands and Importing Messages Cross-System

Command routing paths, or linkages, are created by issuing the CA MIC LINK command. Linkages permit a local command source (CMS user, service machine) to direct commands to a target system and to receive the response back from that command (solicited message).

To create a linkage, issue a LINK command identifying the local command source, the target systems that can receive a command, the target consoles that will issue the command on the target system, and the command authority level associated with the linkage.

Message routing definitions, or collection sets, are created by issuing the CA MIC Message sharing for z/OS COLLECT command. Collection sets permit local message destinations (consoles, products, and so on) to receive messages from external systems.

There is no COLLECT command for CA MIC. But, when you install CA MIC, COLLECT commands on z/OS systems can solicit messages that originate on z/VM systems.
