Keywords Common to All ADDRESS OPSCTL OSF Commands

All ADDRESS OPSCTL OSF host commands share the following keywords:

CLASS(class)

(Optional) Specifies which class of OSF server to which the command refers. This optional keyword may be specified on any of the ADDRESS OPSCTL OSF host commands.

The only possible values for the CLASS keyword are:

• TSL
• TSO
• TSP
• USS

TSO is the default if the CLASS keyword is not specified.

OUTPUT or NOOUTPUT

(Optional) Determines whether the command returns output to the external data queue of the system that originated the command. Specify OUTPUT to have output returned; otherwise, specify NOOUTPUT.

When running in an AOF rule environment, NOOUTPUT is always forced. In all other environments, these defaults exist:

• OSF EXECSTATS-OUTPUT
• OSF LIST-OUTPUT
• OSF QUEUES-OUTPUT
• OSF RESETQ-NOOUTPUT
• OSF STOP-NOOUTPUT

Do not specify NOOUTPUT in conjunction with the SYSWAIT keyword.

Commands issued to the local system ignore the OUTPUT and NOOUTPUT keywords.

SYSTEM(sysid)

(Optional) If your site uses the CA OPS/MVS product on multiple systems connected by the MSF, you can use this keyword to send commands between the systems. CA OPS/MVS routes the command to the system with the specified MSF sysid. You may also specify an asterisk (*) for sysid to route the command to the local system only. If the SYSTEM keyword is not specified, then by default the command is routed to the local system only, regardless of whether MSF is running.

SYSWAIT(seconds)

(Optional) Specifies the maximum time (from 1 to 300 seconds) that the command waits for output from the remote system.

Omit the SYSWAIT keyword if you specify NOOUTPUT, because there is no reason to wait unless you want to collect output.

Commands issued to the local system ignore the SYSWAIT keyword.
