Issue/Introduction

There is no IPL requirement to load a new LMP key.

 

 

Passing the LMPKEYS option on the START command directs CAIRIM to read only the //KEYS DD statement. This procedure will prevent the //PARMLIB DD and //AUTOCMDS DD from being read and thus the statements contained within from being processed. 

Environment

• z/OS 2.x
• Common Services 14.1

Resolution

After updating the appropriate KEYS member that is referenced by the CAS9 procedure (which executes PGM=CAIRIM), issue command:

S CAS9,,,LMPKEYS

This allows CAS9 to run and read only the KEYS.

Additional information about CA LMP processing can be found in the Administrating manual  for COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS
