Automating VM and Linux Systems

The CA OPS/MVS Linux Connector Interface (LXC) provides the ability to automate unsolicited VM and Linux messages. These messages are forwarded to CA OPS/MVS through the Linux Connector Component product running on the same system. The Linux Connector Component also provides command and response processing to the connected VM and Linux systems. LXC does not directly communicate with the VM and Linux guest systems. The Linux Connector Component started task manages all the communication agents that are installed on the VM and Linux systems. LXC turns unsolicited VM and Linux messages into Generic API AOF events for automation. A host command, Address LXCON, provides the VM and Linux command processing function of LXC.
