Activate MSF Sessions to Remote Systems

Once MSF processing has been started on the local system (the one on which the CA OPS/MVS system you are dealing with is running), you can tell the MSF to initiate sessions with all the other CA OPS/MVS systems you have defined to it (with previous MSF DEFINE statements).

To activate MSF sessions to remote systems

1. Issue one or more MSF ACTIVATE commands through one of these methods:
   • In the AOF
   • From an OPS/REXX program
   • From a console using the OPSMSF command rule in the sample libraries

   When using the LU 6.2 protocol, the MSF responds by issuing VTAM OPNDST to establish the session requests.

The syntax for the MSF ACTIVATE command is as follows:

ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF ACTIVATE keywords"

For detailed descriptions of the keywords for the MSF ACTIVATE command, see the Command and Function Reference.
