Issue/Introduction

When applying maintenance to CA 7, should CAS9 (CAIRIM) be ran as part of the procedure.

 

Resolution

The only time you need to run CAS9 (CAIRIM)  when applying CA 7 maintenance is if one or more of the PTFs affect the CA 7 exits that are loaded by CAIRIM. It is rare we make changes to our SMF exits.  If changes are made to the exit via maintenance, we would put in the HOLD action data, that CAIRIM will need to be ran.
