SA z/OS Processor Operations (ProcOps)

Processor operations is a NetView based automation interface and API to monitor and control IBM Z® mainframes.The function uses the SNMP-TCP/IP and BCPii communication protocols. ProcOps is a focal point application that allows external mainframe automation. See the ProcOps API command ISQSEND in IBM Z System Automation Operator's Commands as an example of a ProcOps command using CI. The integrated IPL automation for z/OS and z/VM® are other examples of using CI. With ProcOps, CI messages are sent automatically to the focal point system as soon as the network connection is established to the Support Element (SE) or Hardware Management Console (HMC) and the targeted system (LPAR) is registered. The ProcOps API command ISQXIII is used to perform these steps.
