Customizing Command and Message Traffic

CA MIC lets you customize cross-system command traffic in the following ways:

• Define the scope (target systems) for a specific command source.
• Define the type of commands permitted, based on the command authority level associated with the command source.
• Use an optional GCMF exit routine (GCMCMDXT or GCMRCVXT) to provide site-specific control of cross-system command processing.
• Define the size and allocation method used to acquire consoles for the target console pool.
• Define the use of the command and response token (CART) field for commands.

CA MIC lets you customize message traffic as follows:

• Edit the job ID and SYSID fields of messages so that system personnel can easily identify from which system a cross-system message originated.
• Highlight designated messages.
• Classify "action" type descriptor codes used to collect "action" type messages.
• Define the scope (target systems) to which broadcast messages are propagated.
• Define the number of minutes and scope (target systems) for automatically deleting (using the DOM command) highlighted messages.
• Impose site-specific control of cross-system message processing using an optional GCMF exit routine (GCMDELXT or GCMSRCXT).
