Command Receiver

This information describes how to set up and use command receivers for general use. The command receiver is able to pass NetView, SA z/OS or MVS commands to SA z/OS for execution. The command receiver is able to dispatch incoming commands to a dedicated group of tasks, called the command work tasks. The command receiver uses a round robin algorithm that ensures, on average, each of the associated automated functions has the same number of commands to process. In short, the technique enables the execution of multiple received commands in parallel.

The command receiver is used by:

  • the Batch Command Interface
  • AT Overwrite Syntax Checking of the Customization Dialog
  • Relational Data Services from TSO
  • other SA z/OS provided REXX functions running in TSO.
