You would need to enable the ProcOps Tower to make ISQCCMD available on the (ProcOps) Focal Point(s). https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.1.0?topic=cc-cbu
I have our IPL process automated solely with ProcOps, performing various ISQSEND, ISQCCMD SYSRESET, and ISQCCMD LOAD commands against the defined target hardware. Automation of AOFA* response messages can assist with ISQCCMD commands, and ISQ900I messages (from the System Console) can be used to assist in processing before VTAM is available on the remote system. There are some really good folks at https://groups.io/g/SAUsers that can also provide pointers. The price to join is right, too! On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 10:55 AM Richards, Robert B.
