OPSVIEW Command—Start an OPSVIEW Session

To begin an OPSVIEW session, issue the OPSVIEW command from within any ISPF-based application (including ISPF/PDF), or from the READY prompt in native TSO mode.

This command has the following format:

OPSView
  [option]
  [SYSID(sysid)]
  [SUBSYS(ssid)]
  [COMMAND(commandtext)]

option

(Optional) If you issue the OPSVIEW command without the option keyword, CA OPS/MVS takes you to the OPSVIEW Primary Options Menu panel, where you can select an option. If you prefer to bypass the menu panel, use the option keyword to indicate the subapplication that you want to use, and CA OPS/MVS takes you directly to it.

For example, enter this command to bypass the menu panel and move directly to the Tutorial option (Option T):

OPSV T

SYSID(sysid)

(Optional) For sysid, specify the name of the remote system to which all OPSCMD commands are to be routed for this invocation.

Default: The system to which you are logged on.

If you want to specify this keyword, the Multi-System Facility (MSF) must be installed and there must be an active MSF session between this system and the remote system.

SUBSYS(ssid)

(Optional) For ssid, specify the z/OS subsystem identifier being used by the copy of CA OPS/MVS whose services you want your OPSVIEW session to use.

Default: OPSS, which is the CA OPS/MVS default z/OS subsystem identifier.

COMMAND(commandtext)

(Optional) For commandtext, specify an initial z/OS or JES command to be executed in the OPSVIEW option 6 (Command). If you specify a value for both the COMMAND and the option keywords, the COMMAND keyword overrides the option keyword.
