Commands

Use the Commands menu to send commands to one or several z/OS hosts. When you click the Commands option in the z/OS menu, a table opens listing all CA Vantage SRMrelated system commands

You can also open commands tables from the Commands option in the Options menu in the object menu bar. The Commands option in the Options menu provides two options:

• Object Related Commands - Opens a table listing all system commands or the commands relevant for the current object.
• All CA Vantage Commands - Opens a table listing all CA Vantage SRM related system commands.

Note: For a complete list of z/OS operator commands, see the topic “Operator Commands” in the CA Vantage SRM Reference Guide.

To execute a command from an object, perform these steps

1. Select an object from the object tree. The Object is displayed.
2. Open the User View Commands menu, and select Object. The Windows Client displays the available commands for that object.
3. In the Commands view, select the desired command from the list of commands.
4. Open the Actions menu, and select:
   • Exec on Cur Host (Execute on Current Host)

   Or,

   • Exec on Sel Host (Execute on Selected Host)

   Either choice opens a dialog similar to the following (the following shows the Exec on Sel Host dialog). If applicable, select the appropriate hosts, then click Accept or Accept All.

   

   The Command Environment Key field is a non-modifiable parameter used in conjunction with the Exec on Sel Hosts to indicate what subsystem (HSM, VAN, CAS, HSC, PLS, and VSM) the command is issued for.

   The Selected Hosts field shows what hosts this command will be issued on.
