OPSSEND Function

The OPSSEND function enables a rule to send a message between copies of CA OPS/MVS and to specify how the receiving copy processes the message. A good use for this function is to send a copy of the message that triggered a message rule. You also can use OPSSEND in a message rule to send any type of message, and rules other than message rules also can use OPSSEND.

OPSSEND is primarily useful when issued by a rule whose copy of CA OPS/MVS is communicating with other copies of CA OPS/MVS on other machines through the Multi-System Facility (MSF). A rule can also use OPSSEND to send a message to the OPSLOG of the current copy of CA OPS/MVS.

Note: The OPSSEND function can be used only in AOF rules.

This function has the following format:

var=OPSSEND(sysid[,[option][,[messagetext][,[routecodes]
            [,[desccodes][,[consoleid][,consolename]]]]]])
