Use the IMS SPOC to Issue IMS Commands

You can use the CA SYSVIEW IMS single point of control (SPOC) to issue IMS type 1 and type 2 commands in an IMSplex. Type 1 commands must be preceded with a forward slash (/) character.

To use the SYSVIEW IMS SPOC, be sure the following are configured and implemented:

• CA SYSVIEW Option for IMS
• An IMSPlex
• IMS Common Services Layer
• IMS Structured Call Interface
• IMS Operations Manager

To issue IMS commands

1. Issue the IMSSPOC command

   The IMS SPOC screen displays as a console interface, which lets CA SYSVIEW communicate with the IMS subsystems participating in the IMSplex.

2. Change the IMSplex and Route fields using either of the following methods:
   • Overtype the data in the information area of the display
   • Specify the IMSplex and Route parameters on the command line

   IMSplex

   Provides the current target IMSplex name.

   Route

   Provides the current route options that specify which IMSplex members the command is routed to. Asterisk (*) routes the command to all members.

   The screen refreshes and displays the new data.
