Issue/Introduction

Adding a new instance of CA 7.  Is there a way to add this instance dynamically without GLOBAL DELETE + GLOBAL INIT? 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: 7

Resolution

Yes, you can add an new CA 7 instance without having to perform a GLOBAL DELETE + GLOBAL INIT.  All you need is to run CAIRIM with only a CA 7 statement in the RIMPARM and L2OPTS input as such:

//L2OPTS DD *

CA7x ADD [options]

/* 

Below is a sample JCL:

//CAIRIM EXEC PGM=CAIRIM,REGION=0M 
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.common.services.loadlib
//        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.CA7.CAL2LOAD 
//PARMLIB DD *
PRODUCT(CA 7) VERSION(L2C1)
//L2OPTS  DD *
CA7x ADD options 
//KEYS    DD DUMMY
