OPS/REXX Host Environments in the )PROC Section of a TOD Rule

The )PROC section of a TOD rule has the following host environments with the following TOD rule characteristics. The AOFDEFAULTADDRESS parameter specifies the default host environment for TOD rules.

ADDRESS AOF

Sent to CA OPS/MVS. Does not wait. Output is not returned.

ADDRESS AP

Sent to MSF then forwarded to the CA Automation Point system. Does not wait. Output is not returned.

ADDRESS EPI

Runs inline. Waits for output in the external data queue.

ADDRESS ISPEXEC

Not supported. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server to perform this functionality.

ADDRESS LXCON

Runs inline. Waits for output returned in stem variables.

ADDRESS MESSAGE

Sent as a WTO. The AOFDEST parameter specifies the destination.

ADDRESS MQ

Not supported. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server to perform this functionality.

ADDRESS NETMAN

Sent to a CA OPS/MVS internal CA Netman request queue to issue MGPT commands. Does not wait. Output is not returned.

ADDRESS NETMASTR

Sent to CA NetMaster NM for SNA on the local system. Does not wait. Output is not returned.

ADDRESS OPER

Sent to target console as specified through the OCCONSOLENAME parameters when no CONNAME operands are present. Output is not returned. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server when command output interrogation is needed.

ADDRESS OPSCTL

Sent to the specified facility. If the facility is ECF or OSF, it does not wait. If the facility is MSF, a slight wait occurs. Output is returned to the external data queue.

Note: If the command is MSF LIST, no wait occurs.

ADDRESS OPSDYNAM

Runs Inline. Returns output in variables.

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

Not supported. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server to perform this functionality.

ADDRESS SQL

Does not wait. Processed synchronously for requests that can be satisfied on the local system. Output returned in stem variable. Error messages, if any, are returned to the external data queue.

ADDRESS SYSVIEWE

Not supported. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server to perform this functionality.
