Issue/Introduction

We are implementing CA7 High Availability on our test environment,  Since we are using two different VTAM apple IDs to connect to CA7 on LPARA and LPARB.  How can the same APPLID be used to access CA7 using the same VTAM apple ID when the primary CA7 is killed on a LPARA and CA7 is available to start up on LPARB?  

Environment

Component : CA-7

Resolution

You will not be able to share the APPLID between Systems.  This is not a CA 7 limitation.  When a APPLID is in use on one system, it is and active APPLID and in order to use the same APPLID on another system, you must VARY the APPLID INACT before it can be used.  This is a VTAM limitation.
