Configure the Multi-System Facility (MSF)

The CA OPS/MVS optional Multi-System Facility (MSF) feature provides communication between multiple CA OPS/MVS copies running on different z/OS machines. It also provides communication between copies of CA OPS/MVS and CA Automation Point.

If you have licensed the MSF, you must set the INITMSF parameter to YES in the OPS/REXX startup EXEC.

If you used CA CSM to configure MSF, some of these parameters will have already be generated for you in the parameter file OPSSSC00 in the CNTL data set. If you need to customize MSF parameters further, put them in file OPSSXP00 in the CNTL data set.

CA CSM configuration does not generate the system defines (MSF DEFINE) automatically.

If you did not use CA CSM to configure CA OPS/MVS, the parameters are kept in file OPSSPA00 in the CNTL data set.
