OPS/REXX Host Environments

OPS/REXX host environments let you perform common automation and system operations, such as issuing messages (WTOs), z/OS commands, and UNIX System Services commands. You can also use OPS/REXX host environments in AOF rules to control various CA OPS/MVS facilities.

Use the following OPS/REXX host environments in AOF rules:

ADDRESS AOF

Programmatically control rules and create dynamic AOF rules.

ADDRESS EPI

Programmatically interact with any VTAM application.

ADDRESS LXCON

Issue commands to VM and Linux systems that are connected to the Linux Connector component.

ADDRESS MIM

The CA MIM product manages and collects this display information.

ADDRESS NETMAN

Open, update, or close records in CA Netman.

ADDRESS OPSCTL

Control COF, ECF, OSF, MSF, and OPSLOG components

ADDRESS OPER

Issue z/OS, JES, VM, subsystem commands

ADDRESS OSF

Schedule TSO commands, CLISTs, or REXX EXECs to CA OPS/MVS OSF TSO servers

ADDRESS OSFTSL

Schedule TSO commands, CLISTs, or REXX EXECs to CA OPS/MVS OSF TSL servers

ADDRESS OSFTSP

Schedule TSO commands, CLISTs, or REXX EXECs to CA OPS/MVS OSF TSP servers

ADDRESS SOF

Provide a user interface for managing devices that are attached through ESCON directors and FICON switches.

ADDRESS SQL

Create and maintain SQL tables in the CA OPS/MVS RDF component.

ADDRESS SYSVIEWE

Retrieve output from CA SYSVIEW commands.

ADDRESS USS

Issue UNIX System Services commands

ADDRESS WTO

Issue system messages in the form of WTOs, or WTORs
