A REXX API in CA Automation Point allows it to communicate with CA OPS/MVS. This general-purpose interface uses CAICCI as its communication protocol and allows CA Automation Point to act as a remote Multi-System Facility (MSF).
CAICCI is a communications facility that allows CA solutions to communicate with one another. CAICCI is one member of the group of routines that comprises CCS for z/OS. The CA Automation Point CD includes the Windows version of CAICCI. CA Automation Point uses the CAICCI TCP/IP option to communicate with CA OPS/MVS.
Note: For more information on the CCS for z/OS components that are used by CA OPS/MVS, see the CA OPS/MVS Installation Guide.
MSF is an optional feature of CA OPS/MVS that allows multiple copies of the product running on different z/OS images to communicate with each other using a variety of communication protocols. The MSF can also be used as an interface for communication between CA OPS/MVS and CA Automation Point.
Note: For more information about the MSF, see the CA OPS/MVS User Guide.
The following illustration shows the components involved in the communication between CA OPS/MVS on the mainframe and CA Automation Point on Windows:
