CICS Operations Facility

The CICS Operations Facility (COF) is an interface between CA OPS/MVS and CICS that extends the capability for AOF rule processing to CICS messages, which are written only to CICS transient data queues. This additional message traffic expands the number of automatable events that you can use to control CICS subsystems. Events that are visible to AOF rules using the COF include terminal failures, the logon and logoff activities of the user, and journal switches.

With the COF interface installed, a single copy of CA OPS/MVS can handle an unlimited number of CICS address spaces.
