Performing automation with the AOAnywhere API

This section describes the AOAnywhere API, the AOEXEC commands, and the syntax requirements.

AOAnywhere is an application programming interface (API) that enables 

BMC AMI Ops Automation

 users to perform a variety of automation functions from outside the BBI-SS PAS address space. You can invoke AOAnywhere functions from

  • The TSO/E command line
  • Inside a REXX EXEC or TSO/E CLIST
    AOAnywhere enables BMC AMI OpsA IMFEXEC automation functions to be invoked from address spaces outside of BMC AMI OpsA by using a new command: AOEXEC.
  • A NetView EXEC (when BMC AMI Ops Automation Access NV is licensed and running in the PAS)

You can invoke these functions to operate locally on a BBI-SS PAS running on the same system that the command is invoked from, or route functions to a remote system.
