MSF Operation

The MSF is a CA OPS/MVS component that cannot be started automatically when CA OPS/MVS is started and left to run on its own. This is because the MSF communicates with other systems that may or may not be up when your particular MSF initializes, and then may or may not stay up.

The following discussion assumes that the MSF is being operated manually. You are encouraged, however, to make the maximum use of the CA OPS/MVS AOF feature to automate any MSF operational tasks that you perform manually on a regular basis.
