ADDRESS LXCON Commands

The ADDRESS LXCON host command environment requires the CA Common Services Mainframe Connector for Linux on System Z be operational as documented in the CA Common Services bookshelf. The OPS/MVS Parameter Guide describes all associated Linux Connector Interface parameters and how OPS/MVS interfaces with CA Mainframe Connector for Linux on System Z.

The ADDRESS LXCON is an OPS/REXX host command environment that allows you to perform the following actions:

• Send a command to Linux or VM operating systems.
• (Optionally) Receive a response from Linux or VM operating systems. Command output from any ADDRESS LXCON command returns only when the STEM keyword is specified.
• List the properties of selected VM and Linux systems that are connected to the Linux Connector component.

Linux and VM commands are sent to the USS server where they are processed and sent to the Linux Connector component that routes the commands to the desired Linux or VM system. The response lines are returned to the issuing OPS/REXX program in REXX stem variables.

Since the ADDRESS LXCON VM and Linux command processing uses the USS server for command execution, it shares the ADDRESS USS Return Codes.
