OSFSYSPLEXCMD Parameter

The OSFSYSPLEXCMD parameter allows you to specify whether the OSFCHAR prefix string should be defined to the CPF with a scope of SYSTEM or SYSPLEX. Valid values are YES and NO.

The default value of the OSFSYSPLEXCMD parameter is NO, which means the OSFCHAR prefix is defined to the CPF on the local system only. When OSFSYSPLEXCMD is set to YES, the OSFCHAR prefix is defined with a scope of all systems in the sysplex and should, therefore, be a unique value in the sysplex. Specifying a value of YES on a system that is not part of the sysplex is meaningless and is equivalent to a value of NO.

The OSFSYSPLEXCMD parameter can be set at product initialization only. If you specify unique OSFCHAR strings on each system in the sysplex and set OSFSYSPLEXCMD to YES, you can then use CPF prefixes to issue commands to the servers on any system in the sysplex from any console, regardless of the system to which system it is attached. If you want, you can also use this capability in your automation procedures.
