IMS Operations Facility

The IMS Operations Facility (IOF) is an interface between CA OPS/MVS and IMS that extends the CA OPS/MVS facilities to IMS. For example, you can write AOF rules that process IMS messages, and you can use OPSVIEW to operate IMS.

A single copy of CA OPS/MVS can handle up to 32 copies of IMS. If you run multiple copies of IMS under the control of one copy of CA OPS/MVS, the copies of IMS may be any combination of IMS levels that CA OPS/MVS supports.
