CA File Master Plus for IMS uses CAIRIM Common Services in a BMP environment when dealing with certain database configurations. You must define a parameter that executes an initialization process each time you IPL your system. The initialization process will install program CAWKGRBA as a PC routine to provide the necessary functionality. You can also use CAIRIM JCL to execute the initialization process between IPLs.

Follow these steps:

• Authorize the hlq.CDBIAUTH target library.
• Add the new authorized library to the Link List or to the system Steplib so that it can be accessed during the initialization process.
• Add the following Resource Initilization Manager (RIM) statement to your CAIRIM PDS:

  PRODUCT(CA-FILE MASTER) VERSION(WKA0) INIT(CAWKPCDF)
• IPL your system or execute the updated CAIRIM JCL to initialize before the next IPL.
