Issue/Introduction

When running multiple versions of Datacom/DB or Datacom/AD, it is not always obvious how to set up the CAIRIM/CAS9 process to support both versions.

You may find that either the 14.0 or 15.x Program Call PC routines are not getting installed correctly by CAIRIM.

This article explains how to set this up for  both versions.

Environment

Component : Datacom/DB

Component : Datacom/AD

Resolution

With the release of version 14.0, the Datacom initialization through CAIRIM took a new approach (compared to previous releases) which is much simpler and which provides much more flexibility, especially in those environments supporting multiple versions. With this new approach, all of the information needed is in each set of control statements, and there are no JCL statements used. In versions prior to 14.0, there was a need for a STEPLIB entry and for a DBLIBxx entry. These are not used in version 14.0 and 15.x, so it should be easy to set up both versions.

The CAIRIM statements for version 14.0:

//RIMPC.PARMLIB  DD  *                                                 
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR)                       -
LOADLIB(CAI.THLQ.CABDLOAD)                                            -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCC=DBPCCPR)                                               
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD14) INIT(DBCR4PR)                       -
LOADLIB(CAI.THLQ.CABDLOAD)                                            -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCS=DBPCSPR)                                               
/*                                                                     

Specify the version 14.0 LOADLIB on each of the statements for DBPCCPR and DBPCSPR, which are called and used for version 14.0.

For version 15.x,  there is one statement:

//RIMPC.PARMLIB  DD  *                                                  
PRODUCT(CA DATACOM) VERSION(BD15) INIT(DBCR5PR)                       -
LOADLIB(CAI.THLQ.CABDLOAD)                                            -
PARM(PC=PROD,PCC=DBPCCPR)                                               
/*                                                                      

Specify the LOADLIB for the version 15.x environment. Even though the program name - DBPCCPR - is the same, it is identified for version 15.x, and this entry will be used for version 15.x calls, while the above set will be used for version 14.0 calls.

For Datacom/AD use CAAXLOAD instead of CABDLOAD.
