CICS Operations Facility › Install and Start the COF

Install and Start the COF

To install the COF, you need only define a single CICS transaction and program using RDO. Once the COF is installed, you can start it automatically at CICS initialization through the PLT or a batch terminal.

In CA OPS/MVS, you can control the activation of the COF interface by setting the INITCOF and CICSAOF parameters to YES or NO. Once activated, you can then tailor the way in which the COF intercepts transient data queue messages through the ADDRESS OPSCTL COF commands or OPSVIEW option 4.12.

For complete instructions on how to install the COF, see the Installation Guide.
