OSF and the Multi-System Facility

You issue commands from a copy of CA OPS/MVS running on one system to a copy running on another system by using the OPSRMT command. The Multi-System Facility (MSF) routes these commands to the OSF for execution, gathers any output they generate, and sends the output to the issuing system.

You can also use the OPSRMT TSO command to pass TSO commands directly to the OSF on a single system. If you choose to do this, then consider the following:

• At your discretion, you can have responses from such TSO commands returned to you.
• Commands that you issue in this way execute with your security access characteristics, rather than those of CA OPS/MVS.
• You may want to use this feature to test the OSF or to execute long-running procedures without tying up your TSO address space. This is possible as long as you request no command output.
