CICSAOF Parameter

Determines whether connections between CA OPS/MVS and active CICS regions that are using the CICS global exit (XTDOUT) are permitted.

When the value of the CICSAOF parameter is NO, CICS transient data messages are not sent to the AOF for processing. However, any existing connections to the CICS region remain in place, and you can reactivate them by setting CICSAOF to YES. The setting of CICSAOF has no effect on the availability of the ADDRESS OPSCTL COF host command environment.

Note: If your system runs more than one copy of CA OPS/MVS, you can use the CICSAOF parameter to limit which copy processes CICS messages, and as a switch to turn off CICS message traffic while AOF rules are being modified.
