Issue/Introduction

Explain why the Opera load library is required to be APF authorized. 

Resolution

Opera requires many CA90s services (Common Services for z/OS).  If you choose to maintain separate load libraries (CAILIBs) for Opera and CA90s, note the following information:

• • Both CAILIBs must be APF authorized libraries.
  • During initialization, Opera uses CAIRIM services for LPA modifications and subsystem table additions. For this reason, Opera must have access to the CA90s CAILIB. The CA90s CAILIB must be accessible to Opera from either the LNKLST concatenation or the STEPLIB concatenation in  the Opera's startup procedures.
