CI Protocols and Automation Interfaces

In order to use the hardware integrated console (CI), the SA z/OS program uses two communication protocols. These protocols use the IBM Z® SNMP application programming interfaces.

You use Option 10 (Processors) on the Entry Type Selection panel of the SA z/OS customization dialog to configure the communication protocols for a processor. See Processor Entry Type in IBM Z System Automation Defining Automation Policy for more information.
