The )PROC section of a USS rule has the following host environments with the following USS rule characteristics:

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

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

ADDRESS ISPEXEC

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

ADDRESS LXCON

The VM and Linux command requests sent to USS server for execution. Does not wait. Output is not returned. List request runs inline and returns VM and Linux system data in stem variables.

ADDRESS MESSAGE

Sent as a route code|WTO.

ADDRESS MQ

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

ADDRESS NETMAN

Sent to the 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 specified facility. If facility is ECF or OSF, does not wait. If facility is MSF, slight wait occurs. The external data queue returns the output.

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

ADDRESS OPSDYNAM

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

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, returned to an external data queue.

ADDRESS SYSVIEWE

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

ADDRESS TSO

Sent to an OSF TSO server. Does not wait. Output is not returned.

ADDRESS USS

Sent to a USS server. Does not wait. Output is not returned. Schedule an OPS/REXX program in a server if command output interrogation is needed.

ADDRESS WTO
