What Is the Multi-System Facility (MSF)

The MSF extends the facilities of CA OPS/MVS into the multiple-CPU/multiple-site environment. The MSF establishes sessions between copies of CA OPS/MVS, permitting any copy to issue a command on any other copy and to receive its response.

The following communications protocols can be used for communication between systems:

• APPC
• CCI (cross-platform communication services available through the CAICCI communications server)
