Issue/Introduction
Questions about CA COMMON SERVICES (PRE and POST maintenance)
1) How do I test CAS9 initialization given it is the only started at System IPL?
2) Is there other testing I many need to do to ensure I won't have fallout from the CCS maintenance?
Environment
Release : 15.0
Component : CCS390 - CA COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS
Cause
IVP to confirm BROADCOM Products
Is there a method to test Common Services after maintenance
Resolution
1) There are NO IVP jobs for Common Services.
2) The quickest way to confirm the proper execution of CAIRIM is to check the output of CAS9 procedure at IPL time.
- Verify that the KEYS were accepted
- Ensure that the products started by CAIRIM have all initialized successfully
Common Services also offers 3 Utilities to verify the initialization of resources which would need to be executed prior to the maintenance activation (for comparison of the output), then after the IPL
- CAIRIMU displays the status of all modules initialized by CAIRIM.
- CAISMFU displays the status of the SMF exits installed by CAIRIM
- CAISUBU displays the status of the subsystems installed by CAIRIM.
