Issue/Introduction

If I am not recording events, how do I configure the CAIENF component of Common Services for z/OS to run without a database? 

Environment

Common Services-for z/OS releases r14.1 or r15.0 using ENF 
 

Cause

By default, ENF requires the use of a Database which is a dedicated Datacom/AD MUF    

Resolution

Beginning with CA Common Services r12.0, the ENF Database became optional as the DCM definitions were moved out of the database and are now read in as parms processed at ENF startup. Therefore, if no event recording will take place, there is no need to define the CA Datacom MUF for use with ENF as a database. 


In order to utilize ENF without a database, follow these steps:


Copy and Edit member ENF from your CAI.CAW0PROC library.  You will notice that there are no references to any CA Datacom libraries in this member.
Use the following control options in your ENFPARM member from your CAI.CAW0OPTN dataset: 

       NODB 
       RECORD(NO) 
       ARCHIVE(OFF)


The NODB parm will start ENF without the Database.
RECORD(NO) disables the logging of events to the database.  
ARCHIVE(OFF) turns off the automatic ARCHIVE.
