Dynamically add and activate a QNAME in CA MIM (MII)

Products

Issue/Introduction

This article describes how to dynamically add a QNAME definition to CA MIM (MII) and activate it across all LPARs without recycling the address space.

Environment

• CA MIM Resource Sharing (MIM)
• CA MIM Data Sharing (MII)

Resolution

To dynamically add a QNAME and activate it globally while MIM is running, use the ADDQNAME command. This allows the update to propagate across the complex without an IPL or address space restart.

1. Issue the ADDQNAME command from any system in the complex:
   F MIM,ADDQNAME QNAME=qname [parameters]

   Example: To add QNAME CADDD with specific parameters:
   F MIM,ADDQNAME QNAME=CADDD GDIF=YES SCOPE=SYSTEMS EXEMPT=NO ECMF=YES RPTAFTER=30 RPTCYCLE=300 TRACE=NONE

2. Verify activation: Once the command is issued, CA MIM communicates the new definition to all active systems. Systems joining the complex later automatically adjust their QNAME lists to match.

3. Ensure permanent update: Update the MIMQNAME parmlib member to include the new definition. This prevents the loss of the QNAME during future CA MIM restarts.
