OPSOSF Address Spaces

The OSF uses OPSOSF address spaces as servers that handle asynchronous action requests from various CA OPS/MVS facilities.

OPSOSF address spaces have the following characteristics:

• They include the following facilities:
  • Automated Operations Facility (AOF)
  • Enhanced Console Facility (ECF)
  • IMS Operations Facility (IOF)
  • Multi-system Facility (MSF).
• They use z/OS cross-memory services to handle action requests.
• They may be swappable or non-swappable, as determined by the value of the OSFSWAPPABLE parameter.
• They are started and stopped by CA OPS/MVS as necessary, although the number of active servers must fall within the bounds set by the following parameters:
  • OSFMIN and OSFMAX
  • OSFTSLMIN and OSFTSLMAX
  • OSFTSPMIN and OSFTSPMAX
  • USSMIN and USSMAX
