Communicating with VM/CMS Virtual Machines › z/OS to z/VM Client/Server Application

z/OS to z/VM Client/Server Application

This client/server application extends control from z/OS to z/VM systems and consists of:

• Server code resides on a z/OS system, as well as the message queue management utility.
• Client code runs on a z/VM system.

  The z/VM implementation consists of at least two VM IDs:

  • One containing the CA VM:Operator product
  • At least one ID running the client code

Note: While the server code relies on CA OPS/MVS facilities, the VM client code does not, and can actually be any REXX socket application. In keeping with the original intent of this client/server pair, references to the CA VM:Operator product will continue in the documentation, but client code may be any application complying with a compatible network protocol. CA support is restricted to this code as distributed, with the approved tailoring as described in the following sections of this chapter.
