The VM system runs the Control Program (CP) together with a number of Conversational Monitor System (CMS) virtual machines. In addition, an MVS virtual machine is activated that operates Control‑M.
When MVS is running under VM, the following options are available for transferring data between the MVS and VM operating systems:
A VM CP command can be issued in the MVS machine, using the DIAGNOSE machine command. This allows the MVS machine to issue commands to be processed by VM.
If an RSCS machine is operated under VM, then RJE or NJE connections can be established between VM and MVS. This allows jobs and sysouts to be transferred between MVS and VM.
If a VM/VTAM machine is operated under VM, SNA connections can be established between MVS and VM. This allows a VM terminal user to invoke the IOA Online interface.
If a disk or minidisk is shared between MVS and VM, a PS or PO file created under MVS can be read from VM CMS.
If a card reader or punch is defined in MVS, files can be passed between MVS and VM.
