Synchronous Communication

As shown in Figure 1, the automation adapter receives a request from the SMU server or from the E2E agent and schedules it via PPI communication to an SA z/OS task execution request processor that runs on the automated operator function E2EOPER or E2EOPRnn. The task execution request contains one or more end-to-end automation requests.

The program-to-program interface (PPI) enables application programs to send or receive data buffers from other application programs that are running on the same host. The PPI is an optional facility of the NetView subsystem address space and must be initialized with its PPIOPT start option.
