Support of Other Platforms (Such as VM, DOS/VSE, AS/400, DEC, HP)

This discussion deals only with Control‑M z/OS products. For information about other products, see the appropriate Control‑M publications.

This diagram deals with a multi-CPU environment that includes one or more non-z/OS computers. The most common non-z/OS platforms are: VM, DOS/VSE, AS/400, DECs VAX/VMS, and HP.

The following discussion shows how a z/OS-based Control‑M system can contribute to this environment:

The z/OS-based Control‑M can

• schedule work in the non-MVS system
• control production work that is scheduled by a non-MVS system to run on the MVS system
• trigger events on the non-MVS system
• interact with any hardware that supports an "appropriate connection" to the z/OS computer

  Some of these "appropriate connections" are listed in the following topic.
