Question:
We have multiple CA products that run CA Datacom/AD 14.0.
My questions are:
1. Can we have multiple entries for version 14.0 in CAIRIM?
2. Does each CA product that uses Datacom require an entry?
Example:
CA product with hlq1
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR) -
LOADLIB(hlq1.DATACOM.CAILIB) -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCC=DBPCCPR)
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR) -
LOADLIB(hlq1.DATACOM.CAILIB) -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCS=DBPCSPR)
Another CA product with hlq2
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR) -
LOADLIB(hlq2.CAAXLOAD) -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCC=DBPCCPR)
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR) -
LOADLIB(hlq2.CAAXLOAD) -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCS=DBPCSPR)
Answer:
1. It is not necessary to have multiple CAIRIM entries. Assuming the CAIRIM entries for DBPCCPR and DBPCSPR are duplicated for the same module and version 14.0 then the last one will take.
The JESLOG for z/OS will show each one that is processed by CAIRIM for your confirmation. Here are same example messages from the CAS9 execution:
DB90150I - DATACOM DBCR4PR 2011/03/18-1055 14.0
DB90154I - DATACOM DBPCCPR 2013/10/18-1443 14.0 RO63772
DB90151I - DATACOM INITIALIZATION SUCCESSFUL
CAS9130I - MODULE DBCR4PR COMPLETE, RC=00
DB90150I - DATACOM DBCR4PR 2011/03/18-1055 14.0
DB90154I - DATACOM DBPCSPR 2013/04/19-1254 14.0 RO56818
DB90151I - DATACOM INITIALIZATION SUCCESSFUL
CAS9130I - MODULE DBCR4PR COMPLETE, RC=00
2. No, only one CAIRIM set of entries is necessary per Datacom release regardless of the CA products that use Datacom.
