The IMS Operation Facility(IOF) is an optional feature of CA OPS/MVS. It allows CA OPS/MVS to operate one or more IMS Control Regions so as to seamlessly integrate them with the CA OPS/MVS operation of z/OS and JES.
The IOF is needed to operate the IMS because the IMS does not use the usual z/OS console interface to communicate with Operations. Instead, the IMS requires its own Master Terminal (MTO) that receives most (but not all) IMS-related messages. The IOF dynamically inserts an IMS Automated Operations Interface (AOI) exit to capture the IMS command and message traffic and also takes special care to identify and capture z/OS messages that are associated with the IMS.
CA OPS/MVS allows as many as 32 IMS Control Regions to be automated under the IOF. You can pre-define a total number of 16 IMS SVCs to the IOF for recognition.
