The Cross-Platform Scheduling Common component lets CA WA CA 7 Edition receive cross-platform scheduling requests from other CA Technologies solutions like CA Scheduler and CA Workload Automation AE. The Cross-Platform Scheduling Common component is also described as the Cross-Platform Router or XPS Router. The XPS Router is designed to work with the CA Workload Automation and job management systems that use CAICCI as the form of cross-system communication.
On z/OS systems, the cross-platform scheduling router receives all requests for work from other systems. The router then routes each request to the appropriate CA scheduling solution on that system. The CA scheduling solution generates the feedback information (job initiation, termination, failure) that is used to create CAIENF cross-platform feedback events (CAXPSFBK). The cross-platform scheduling router intercepts these events and sends the feedback to the original requester. Logging this information in CAIENF also prevents the loss of feedback data when communications problems interrupt the links among platforms. When the link is reestablished, the cross-platform scheduling router can retrieve the logged feedback events from CAIENF. The cross-platform scheduling router sends them to the system that originated the request.
Cross-platform scheduling communication is performed by using the CA Common Communications Interface (CAICCI). A copy of CAICCI runs on each system where a CA Technologies solution requires it. The copies of CAICCI on each system communicate with each other using various protocols based on CAICCI control parameters. The gateway communication protocol is used for cross-platform scheduling (host-to-host connection).
This service is required for a number of interfaces, including:
Note: For more information about using the cross-platform router, see the Interface Reference Guide.
