Remote command execution

openFT enables operating system commands to be executed on remote systems (ftexec mechanism) and can return the exit codes and outputs of such commands to stdout and stderr (i.e. SYSLST and SYSOUT in BS2000) as if they were executed on the local system.

This makes it possible to integrate remote commands transparently in local command procedures.

The following diagram clarifies the concept of remote command execution.
