Question: 
How to issue commands to the CA OPS/MVS Switch Operations Facility (SOF) Server?

Answer:
SOF commands can be issued to the SOF server as follows:

• From a console, issue z/OS MODIFY commands to the started task name of the SOF server.
• From OPSVIEW option 3.5.6, issue commands to an SOF server running on any CCI-connected z/OS system.
• From a user-written OPS/REXX program using the OPS/REXX ADDRESS SOF host environment command.

Example: How to stop the SOF Server?

The following z/OS MODIFY command stops the SOF server running as started task named OPSOFSRV on the local z/OS system:

F OPSOFSRV,STOP

Additional Information:
SOF commands are described in the Administration Guide.
The Switch Operations Facility Menu (OPSVIEW option 3.5 panel) is described in the OPSVIEW User guide.
For details how to use the OPS/REXX ADDRESS SOF host environment command, see the Command and Function Reference.
