The Operator Interface
The Operator Interface enables you to issue Sterling Connect:Direct® for z/OS® commands from a z/OS console using a MODIFY command.
Access the Operator Interface after Sterling Connect:Direct initializes if you specify the initialization parameters MCS.CLIST and MCS.SIGNON.
Following is the syntax for the MCS.CLIST and MCS.SIGNON initialization parameters:
|
An automatic signon is issued after the first Sterling Connect:Direct CLIST is invoked using the information in MCS.SIGNON. This session is active until you submit a CLIST that contains a Sterling Connect:Direct SIGNOFF command.
You can create easy to remember customized Sterling Connect:Direct commands with the Operator Interface through a CLIST-type facility. The software supports symbolic substitution and CLIST-type parameters allowing you to alter Sterling Connect:Direct commands without changing the CLIST.
In a Sterling Connect:Direct/Plex, if you issue a console operator command to a Sterling Connect:Direct/Server, the console interface actually signs on to the Sterling Connect:Direct/Manager. As a result, any commands issued to Sterling Connect:Direct/Server are actually issued to the Sterling Connect:Direct/Manager, which is the only Sterling Connect:Direct/Plex member that accepts operator commands.
