Issue Cross-system TSO Commands

You can issue TSO commands to other systems by issuing the OPSRMT command (alias OR). This command enables you to issue TSO commands to other systems from either a TSO terminal or a console logged into the CA OPS/MVS ECF component. For the syntax of the OPSRMT command, see the Command and Function Reference.

Issuing the OPSRMT command without specifying command text causes the OPSRMT command processor to enter subcommand mode. The CA OPS/MVS product routes all TSO commands you enter while in subcommand mode to the subsystem you specified on the OPSRMT command.

When the TSO command immediately follows the system ID on an OPSRMT command, CA OPS/MVS considers all text beyond the system ID to be part of the command text. For example, in the following example, the TSO command text is LISTCAT LEVEL(SYS1):

OR SYSTEM3 LISTCAT LEVEL(SYS1)

Note: When the MSF is not installed or is not active on the local system, the OPSRMT command returns an error message when you specify any system ID other than that of the local system (or *).

The OPSRMT command with the system ID of the local system (or *) is always valid as long as the CA OPS/MVS address space is active. The MSF does not need to be installed or active when specifying the local system ID on the OPSRMT command.
