Integrating with CA Automation Point › Establish Communication

Establish Communication

For CA OPS/MVS to communicate with CA Automation Point, you must configure both products.

The following components are required for the establishment of communication between CA OPS/MVS and CA Automation Point:

• CAICCI service
• MSF

Note: This topic provides an overview of how to establish communication between CA OPS/MVS and CA Automation Point. For detailed information, see the Administration Guide.

To configure CA OPS/MVS for communication with CA Automation Point

1. Ensure that CAICCI is installed on your system.

   The CAICCI service is available to MSF as a means of communication.

2. Define MSF sessions in your MSFINIT program:
   • Use the following statements to enable MSF to use CAICCI:

     ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF DEFINE MSFID(msf_id_local) APPLID(local_vtam_name)"
     ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF DEFINE MSFID(msf_id_remote) APPLID(ap_caicci_id) CCI"
     

   • Use the following statement to define CA Automation Point to MSF:

     ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF DEFINE MSFID(ap_host_name) APPLID(ap_caicci_id) AP"
     

   These changes take effect when MSF is recycled. If you want to make these changes available to the current MSF instance, use OPSVIEW Option 4.2 to define these sessions to the current instance.

3. Ensure that the following statements are included in your OPSSPA00 program:

   var = OPSPRM("SET","INITMSF","YES")
   var = OPSPRM("SET","INITCCI","YES")
   var = OPSPRM("SET","APDEFAULTUSERID","user_id")
   var = OPSPRM("SET","OSFSECURITY","CHECKUSERID")
   var = OPSPRM("SET","MSFDELAY","10")
   

   These changes take effect when CA OPS/MVS is recycled.

   CA OPS/MVS is configured for communication with CA Automation Point.

To configure CA Automation Point for communication with CA OPS/MVS

1. Access CA Automation Point Configuration Manager, and then navigate to CA OPS/MVS Interface to open the CCI Configuration dialog.
2. Use the following REMOTE statement to define the MSF CAICCI node that CA Automation Point connects to:

   REMOTE=ops_host_name ops_caicci_id 32768 STARTUP PORT=ops_caicci_port
   

3. Open the CA OPS/MVS Event Traffic Configuration dialog, include the defined node, and recycle CA OPS/MVS Interface.

   CA Automation Point is configured for communication with CA OPS/MVS.
