Starting and stopping the Host Server

The Host Server is a mainframe started task that provides access to BMC AMI Ops product data. You can view data in real-time using MainView Explorer (MVE), or export data to a file and view it offline using MVE Viewer. For more information, see MainView-Explorer and Overview-of-the-MVE-Viewer.

The Host Server runs as an address space on IBM z/OS systems with a running CAS and communicates with MVE client applications using TCP/IP. When an MVE client requests information:

  1. The ​​​​​​​Host Server sends the request to the connected CAS.
  2. The CAS collects the information from the appropriate PAS.
  3. The CAS sends the information back to the ​​​​​​​Host Server.
  4. The ​​​​​​​Host Server then forwards the information to the client.

Multiple ​​​​​​​Host Server can run in a system and communicate with the same or different CASs. The following topics describe how to start and stop the ​​​​​​​Host Server.
