Issue/Introduction

Several CA Datacom functions require all libraries in STEPLIB to be APF authorized. How to dynamically add them to the APFLIST using CA SYSVIEW without requiring an IPL?

Environment

Release:   Any

Component:  CA Datacom/DB
                        CA Datacom/AD

Resolution

Here is how to add the libraries dynamically to APF authorized list without requiring an IPL via CA SYSVIEW...

In SYSVIEW batch (PGM=GSVXBAT):

/*JOBPARM SYSAFF=node
//SYSVBAT  EXEC PGM=GSVXBAT,PARM='LINECNT=66,SHOWINP=YES'
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
COMMAND=(APFLIST)
COMMAND=(DOWN 1)
COMMAND=(ADD 'first library' vvvvvv)
COMMAND=(YES)
COMMAND=(ADD 'next library? vvvvvv)
COMMAND=(YES)COMMAND=(APFLIST)
/*

COMMAND=(APFLIST) will display the APF list. In the above example, the APF list is re-displayed after the libraries have been added. 
'node'  is the system. 'vvvvvv' is the volume where the library is allocated.

Also, you can add them in online SYSVIEW.

The online SYSVIEW commands are:

APFLIST 
ADD 'first library' vvvvvv 
YES 
ADD 'next library' vvvvvv 
YES 

APFLIST

Additional Information

These libraries will remain APF authorized until the next IPL or until they are deleted the APFLIST via the SYSVIEW DELETE command. 

Both CA Datacom/DB and CA Datacom/AD provide INSTJCL member APFADD.
