The CICS Operations Facility (COF) is an interface between CA OPS/MVS and CICS that extends the capability for AOF rule processing to CICS messages, which are written only to CICS transient data queues. This additional message traffic expands the number of automatable events that you can use to control CICS subsystems. Events that are visible to AOF rules using the COF include terminal failures, the logon and logoff activities of the user, and journal switches.
With the COF interface installed, a single copy of CA OPS/MVS can handle an unlimited number of CICS address spaces.
The interface enables CA OPS/MVS to seamlessly integrate CICS regions with the CA OPS/MVS operation of z/OS and JES. It enables you to issue various operator-oriented CICS transactions (CEMT) through the z/OS MODIFY console command if security and console definitions are properly defined to CICS. You have the capability to use the write-to-operator (WTO) event on all transient data messages so they can be displayed on a specific console, the system log, and OPSLOG, and periodically produce a special CICS heartbeat message to ensure that transaction activity is proceeding as usual in CICS.
