ADDRESS OPSCTL Commands

The ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment controls the ECF, MSF ONLY, MSF, and COF, and OSF components.

• To control the ECF component, the ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment uses the following command:

  ECF LIST

  Returns information about each ECF user logged onto a console.

• To control the MSF component, the ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment uses the following commands:

  MSF DEFAULT

  Enables you to specify a default system name and system wait value for the currently executing REXX program or rule. Only those OPS/REXX functions that support cross system operations and do not allow the explicit setting of a system name and system wait value (for example: OPSVALUE), are applicable.

  MSF START

  Tells CA OPS/MVS to initialize the MSF on the local MSF system, to open its VTAM access control block, and to begin communicating with copies of CA OPS/MVS running on remote systems.

  MSF STOP

  Instructs the local copy of CA OPS/MVS to end its sessions with remote CA OPS/MVS copies and to close its VTAM access control block.

• To control the MSF and COF components, the ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment uses the following commands:

  MSF|COF ACTIVATE

  This command does one of the following:

  • Causes the MSF to try to activate a VTAM session with the MSF running on another system
  • Causes an association between a transient data queue and the COF

  MSF|COF DEACTIVATE

  Ends the session between local and remote copies of the MSF, or ends the association between a transient data queue and the COF.

  MSF|COF DEFINE

  Defines to the MSF the systems it can communicate with, or defines to the COF a list of CICS transient data queue names to be selected for AOF processing.

  MSF|COF DELETE

  Deletes either specific or all MSF or COF resources that you have defined.

  MSF|COF LIST

  Displays all MSF or COF resources currently defined and their status.

• To control the OSF component, the ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment uses the following commands:

  OSF EXECSTATS

  Returns performance information about the OSF server component. This information is useful for tuning OSF-related parameters to meet the performance objectives of your installation.

  OSF LIST

  Returns information about active servers to the external data queue.

  OSF QUEUES

  Returns status and historical information about the server execution queue to the external data queue.

  OSF RESETQ

  Causes all pending commands waiting on the OSF execute queue to be immediately discarded. As a result of this command, all existing OSF execute queue statistics are reset to 0 (zero).

  OSF STOP nnnn

  Stops the server that has the address space ID nnnn.

• To control the OPSLOG component, the ADDRESS OPSCTL host environment uses the following commands:

  DEFINE

  Defines a new OPSLOG for future use.

  ACTIVATE

  Makes a previously defined OPSLOG definition active for use. In the cases where the OPSLOG is DIV-backed, the data set must exist at the time it is activated.

  SETLIVE

  Makes a previously active, read/write, OPSLOG the live log. This means that new events processed by the CA OPS/MVS subsystem are added to this OPSLOG. There can only be one live OPSLOG. Other than at product startup where there is no prior live log, the prior live log becomes an active log again.

  RESET

  Empties an active, read/write, OPSLOG (it cannot be the live log), which makes it available for use as an empty log.

  LIST

  Lists all of the defined OPSLOGs.

  DEACTIVATE

  Changes the status of an OPSLOG back to defined.

  DELETE

  Deletes an OPSLOG definition.
