Invoking the IOA Online Facility From a VM Terminal

If appropriate interactive communication connections are set up between the VM and MVS operating systems, a VM terminal user can log onto an MVS VTAM application that supports the IOA Online facility (for example, TSO, CICS, IMS/DC, IOA VTAM Monitor, IDMS/DC, ROSCOE and COM-PLETE).

All examples in this document assume the use of an IOA VTAM monitor. However, each site must determine which of the previously mentioned MVS VTAM applications is most suitable.

Once the VM user has entered the IOA Online facility, all tracking and control options of Control‑M and IOA are available to the user. For example, the user can add or delete prerequisite conditions, define a new job schedule, order a job, view job run results, hold a job, and so on.

Several methods exist for setting up interactive communication connections, depending on the software and hardware configurations used at each site:
