How do I request an EKG key for DR testing?

To request an EKG key, please contact Broadcom Customer Care.

Note: If site keys are being used, an EKG key is no longer required. The site keys can be used for DR testing

 

Installing an EKG KEY on an MVS environment:

Dynamically activate the EKG key using one of the following methods for an EKG key.  

Method #1:

Update the KEYS member being referenced in the CAS9 procedure (executes PGM=CAIRIM). This procedure will normally be defined in the system PROCLIB. 

The EKG code should be the first non-commented statement in the KEYS member. Starting in column 1 it should follow the format:

EKG(xxxxxxxx)

With the EKG code defined and the KEYS member saved, run CAS9 using the following console start command:

S CAS9,,,LMPKEYS

Using the above command will allow the CAS9 procedure to execute only the KEYS statement and nothing more. 

 

Method #2:

Issue the following console start command which will prompt you for the EKG code at the console.

S CAS9,,,EKGP

The WTOR will expect only the 8-character code.

This method does not require you to update the KEYS member

 

Installing an EKG KEY on a VSE environment:

Dynamically activate the EKG key using one of the following

methods for an EKG key.  

Method #1:

Catalog the new EKG key into the CALMPKEY.A member as the first uncommented line of the file. 
Run this batch job: 
// EXEC CAIRIM
/* 

 

Method #2:
Release a pause into a partition.

Respond to the paused partition with this command:

pid EXEC CAIRIM,PARM='EKGP'

Respond to the next message with a command like this:
pid EKG(1FBE00CF)
   

Additional Information

• An EKG code is defined for a specific date range, with a specific start date
• An EKG code is good for 10 days following the defined start date
• An EKG code will not be accepted outside of the defined date range

• A successful activation of an EKG code will result in a message in the following format:

  CAS9116I ‑ EKG DEVICE CODE ACCEPTED ACTIVATED ON:

       month dd, year G.M.T
