Run CAIENF under the Master Subsystem

Some CA products require initialization before JES and require CAIENF to be started with SUB=MSTR.

Note: Running CAIENF with SUB=MSTR reduces diagnostic capability. You should not run CAIENF with SUB=MSTR unless there is a substantial benefit from doing so. As an alternative, you can use CAIENF auto commands. For example, to guarantee that CAIENF initializes before the beginning of batch job activity, you can define JES initiators as drained. Then, in the CAIENF auto commands member, you can use a $SI command to start the desired initiators.

To run CAIENF under the Master subsystem

1. Ensure that a copy of the CAW0PROC(ENF) member, updated to suit the requirements of your site, is in a system proclib and not in a proclib defined to JES. Review the following DD statements:
   • When running CAIENF under the Master subsystem, you cannot direct SYSPRINT to SYSOUT=*. You must specify a SYSPRINT DD DUMMY statement or, if you want the SYSPRINT output, direct SYSPRINT to a permanent data set.
   • If CAICCI is installed, a TRCPRINT DD statement is required. It has the same restrictions as SYSPRINT.
2. Ensure that all data sets accessed using the ENF procedure are cataloged in the master catalog.
3. Use the START command to start ENF before JES at the next IPL. For example:

   START ENF,SUB=MSTER
