CA 7 r11.3 will be upgraded to CA 7 r12.1, would like to know more related to the step 'Prepare and Execute CAIRIM to initialize 12.1'
Can I code both Versions in Initialize statement as follows to initialize release 11.3 and 12.1?
***** REFRESH OF THE CAISSF, SMF INTERCEPT AND LMP
PRODUCT(CAIRIM) VERSION(S9F0) INIT(CAS9INIT) -
PARM(REFRESH(SSF,MB838,LMP))
*
***** INITIALIZE CA-C RUNTIME PROGRAM
PRODUCT(CA-C RUNTIME) VERSION(F331) INIT(F331INIT)
*
***** INITIALIZE CA-1 R14.0
PRODUCT(CA-1/MVS) VERSION(L0E0) INIT(L0E0INIT) PARM(INIT,SVC=233)
*
***** INITIALIZE CA-7 R11.3
PRODUCT(CA-7) VERSION(L2B3)
*
***** INITIALIZE CA-7 V12.1
PRODUCT(CA 7) VERSION(L2C1)
*
***** INITIALIZE DATACOM/AD 15.1
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD15) INIT(DBCR5PR) -
LOADLIB(DATACOM.CAAXLOAD) -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCC=DBPCCPR)
Release : 12.1
Component : CA-7
The CA 7 r12.1 initialize statement PRODUCT(CA7) VERSION (L2C1) in CAS9 start is not needed unless the system is IPLed. The current version that initialized in Release 11.3 is upward and downward compatible.
Restart of CAS9 for CA 7 r12.1 is not required when not IPLing. CA 7 r12.1 can be started with current CA 7 r11.3 CAS9 loaded environment without any issues. It is recommended that CAS9 be updated for so that CAS9 is ready for next System IPL for when CA 7 r12.1 goes into Production.
For example:
Update the CAS9 PARMLIB for CAIRIM PROC as follows:
From (CA 7 r11.3) :
PRODUCT(CA-7) VERSION(L2B3)
To (CA 7 r12.1) :
PRODUCT(CA-7) VERSION(L2C1)
