Definition and Usage

The OPSVASRV command processor creates and manipulates sysplex variables that are defined in the CA CCS Common Variable Service (CAVARSRV) component. These variables are independent from the standard CA OPS/MVS global variables. Currently these CCS CAVARSRV sysplex variables are only stored in main storage of the CCS CAVARSRV component. The CCS CAVARSRV component is active on each system within the sysplex, providing a tool to any CA OPS/MVS automation that needs to store and manipulate data within the boundaries of a sysplex through the OPSVASRV command processor. Since the variables exist on multiple systems, they will be available within the sysplex as long as one system in the sysplex remains active. As a system re-initializes after an IPL, the CCS CAVARSRV address space on that system will synchronize variables from an active CCS CAVARSRV on another sysplex system.
