Local monitor

The Control-M JCL Verify monitor running on the same system and belonging to the same IOA environment as the end user is called the local Control-M JCL Verify monitor. All communications with the end user is implemented through its local monitor. The local monitor receives all requests that must be handled by the monitors. The local monitor might handle the request itself or it might send it on (by means of a remote request) to another target monitor. After the request is processed, the results are sent back to the end user. If the request was processed by the local monitor, it sends the results directly to the end user. The results of remote requests (processed by a monitor other than the local one) are passed to the end user through the local monitor.

The communication between the end user and the local monitor uses cross memory services (synchronized data passing between different address spaces - for example, between TSO logon and Control-M JCL Verify monitor) of the same z/OS. For example, when a local monitor receives JCL verification requests from an end user, it executes the requests, and then returns the results back to the user through cross memory services.
