You use this dialog box to issue arbitrary
commands, including
IDCAMS, ICKDSF, DFSMSrmm, DFSMShsm, DFSMSdss,
TSO, and mainframe console commands in text format.
Note: An MVS command that you issue through the Issue
Command dialog
box is submitted through SDSF. A forward slash (
/)
must precede MVS commands, as in this example, which cancels a time-sharing
user (
tso_user_ID):
/C U=tso_user_ID

see
Authentication and authorization for running Storage Toolkit commands regarding
the authorization that is required for the action requests of the
Storage Toolkit.
Typically you use this feature when you are familiar with
the syntax
and parameters of a command. You construct and issue a mainframe command
directly from the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal, without
having to directly access the mainframe environment. See Authentication and authorization for running Storage Toolkit commands for a description
of the relevant requirements for your portal user ID.
In the generic
Command tab you enter
supplemental parameters
to a basic command that you specify in a graphical user interface.
In contrast, the
Command tab of the Issue Command dialog box
is used to enter a complete command in text form. Because you specify
all options for the command in the text box, the Issue Command dialog
box does not have an
Options tab.
- Command tab
- Use this tab to construct the raw text of the command that you
want to issue.
- Select one of the following types of command
in the Command
type drop-down list:
- DFSMSdss (Device Support Services)
- DFSMShsm (Hierarchical Storage Manager)
- ICKDSF (Device
Support Facilities)
- IDCAMS (Access Method Services)
- DFSMSrmm (Removable Media Manager)
- Mainframe (z/OS® console command)
- TSO (Time Sharing
Option)
You must select the type of command (corresponding
to the type
of facility in the mainframe environment) that matches the command
type that you enter in the Command text box. Otherwise, the command
is not processed successfully in the mainframe environment.
- Type the command and its parameters in the Command text
box. Use substitution variables as needed.
- Define substitution
variables, as needed, in the Substitution
variables and their run-time replacement values table.
- Click the Show Data button to access the Data View dialog box, where you can review the scope
of the substitution variables that you specify.

of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The
