The Ironstream Proxy Server components are integrated into Micro Focus OMi through the following:
vp390sv command
opcmsg application program interface (API)
Message interface policies
Measurement threshold policies
For each IBM Z LPAR monitored and controlled by Ironstream, a Message and Command Server (MCS) service is started. The Ironstream Proxy Server server uses the Micro Focus Operations Agent (OA) message API to send mainframe messages to the OA. Message policies assigned to the OA agent process the messages based on rules in the policies.
The rules can contain automatic actions or operator initiated actions. These actions can be commands to be sent to the ironstream IBM Z agent to be executed on the IBM Z system.
