Sending messages to z/OS from z/VM using RSCS
I am able to send messages to a z/OS TSO userid using the RSCS command MSG from z/VM. How would the TSO userid send a message to me on the z/VM node? z/VM node is DIS3081. Z/OS node is MVSSYS. Would the z/OS TSO userid be able to issue commands to the z/VM system or would PROP be involved?

Jim, From TSO you can use: XMIT (or TRANSMIT) node.userid That places you into EDIT on a file permitting multiple lines to be entered, after which you press PF3 to send the file. The message appears as a reader file on the node.userid on the target VM system.

Re: Sending messages to z/OS from z/VM using RSCS
So... where does the command issuer run... e.g. as a TSO user, as a batch job, other? If they have the proper privilege on z/OS, they could issue the JES2 command: $Nn#;nodename userid 'message text here' Where the '#' is the JES2 node number of your target z/VM system. The message would appear at the target as a message sent by RSCS (which can easily be trapped by PROP or other automation tools). We've used that technique for years here in a sort of cludge. A home-built VM:Operator RO VMOPER macro accepts a command for z/OS, sends the command via RSCS over NJE to z/OS (CP SMSG RSCS MSG mvs_nodename SYSTEM arguments), where they are trapped by z/OS automation, tested for authorization, executed as a z/OS operator command (NETVIEW is heavily involved), and the command responses trapped and sent back to z/VM using the $NM# command as a if they were a rexx stem. The RO VMOPER macro had been waiting for the reply, traps the stem, and does what it is told to do. Someday we'll get a round tuit and re-write that cludge to use something more modern (like rexx sockets perhaps).
