CA GTS System Commands

Communication with an active CA GTS address space and its clients is permitted through the z/OS MODIFY command. The general syntax of the CA GTS modify commands, with the exception of HELP, is as follows:

F gts,component keywords
gts

The name of the CA GTS address space.

component

Represents a component or client name.

keywords

The action that the component should perform.

CA GTS always returns the response to a command to the requestor, which facilitates automation of commands using an automation product such as CA OPS/MVS.

Two layers of HELP are provided: All components (the first word of a command) can be listed by issuing a MODIFY command against the GTS address space with the HELP command verb. This will list all available command verbs. To list the components, enter the following:
