Issue/Introduction

The following process will describe the easiest and quickest way to load and activate LMP keys. This process will not require any changes to your existing CAS9 procedure, which executes the CAIRIM program.

Environment

Release:
Component: CAIRIM

Resolution

Update the appropriate KEYS member that is referenced in the CAS9 procedure and start CAS9 as follows:

S CAS9,,,LMPKEYS

• This will direct CAIRIM to read only the //KEYS DD statement and ignore all others.
• There is no requirement to define any product initialization statement in the CARIMPRM member to accomplish the loading or reloading on LMP keys.
• There is no requirement to recycle any product tasks.

Additional Information

Optionally (and not recommended), you may create a custom CAS9 procedure and then execute that procedure instead of CAS9.

1. Copy the hlq.CAW0PROC(CAS9) member and give it a meaningful name (for example, CAS9LMP).
2. Edit the copy as follows:
   1. Remove the following lines from the PROC statement:
      “RIMPARM=CARIMPRM,”
      “AUTOCMD=CAUTOCMD”
   2. Remove the comma from the “KEYS=KEYS,” line in the PROC statement so that it looks like this:
      “KEYS=KEYS”
   3. Change the “PARMLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&CAW0OPTN(&RIMPARM)” line as follows:
      “PARMLIB DD DUMMY”.
   4. Change the “AUTOCMDS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&CAW0OPTN(&AUTOCMD)” line as follows:
      “AUTOCMDS DD DUMMY”
3. Move the copy to a system PROCLIB.
4. Issue the following command:
   S CAS9LMP

The new keys are loaded.
