Issuing a NetView Command from MVS

If you have an autotask associated with the system console, you can enter NetView® commands from the MVS™ console.

To associate an autotask with a specific MVS console, use the AUTOTASK statement in the CNMSTYLE member, or the AUTOTASK command. The CONSOLE keyword specifies a console ID from which an operator can issue the MODIFY command. If you specify a console ID of *ANY*, you can use any MVS console to issue a NetView command. Before specifying *ANY*, consider the security implications of allowing NetView commands to be issued from any MVS console.

After you associate an autotask with the system console, you can enter NetView commands from the console using the following MVS MODIFY command, where procname is the name that your system programmer assigned to the cataloged procedure for the NetView program, such as CNMCNETV, and is the NetView command that you want to issue: 
f procname,command
For example, to display the MVS console names and IDs used by the NetView program, enter the following command: 
f procname,disconid
When the NetView subsystem is active, you can also enter NetView commands by prefixing the command with a designator that identifies the command as belonging to the NetView program. The default command designator is the 4-character subsystem name. For example, if job T130TEST is the NetView subsystem address space job, the designator is T130. To display the MVS console names and IDs used by the NetView program, enter the following command: 
t130 disconid

You can register the command designator with the MVS system on which the subsystem address space job runs or you can register the prefix for the entire sysplex. This is done when you start the NetView subsystem address space.

Note: If you use the MVS MODIFY command, a designator character for the NetView program is not required.
