Understanding the MSF
The Multi-System Facility(MSF) allows multiple copies of the product running on different z/OS images to communicate with each other through a variety of communication protocols. These z/OS images may be in a single data center, or they may be spread out around the world. Many of the CA OPS/MVS command processors, OPS/REXX host command environments, and OPS/REXX functions can perform their operations on any connected system. For example, when the MSF is installed and configured, you can perform any of these actions:
- Issue z/OS or subsystem commands to another system and retrieve the responses.
- Issue WTOs to consoles on other systems.
- Execute an OPS/REXX program in an OSF server address space that is on another system and retrieve the output.
- Issue SQL commands to retrieve or update rows in a relational table that resides on another system.
- Manage System State Manager resources on another system.
- Retrieve or update global variables that reside on another system.
- Browse the OPSLOG of another system.
- Control these CA OPS/MVS components on another system:
- Issue commands and messages to CA Automation Point
The MSF supports the following communication protocols:
- LU 6.2
- XCF (through CAICCI)
- XES (through CAICCI)
- TCP/IP (through CAICCI)
