Configure CAISDI/elmds

When CAISDI/elmds is run, it initializes the environment which includes the med and els interfaces. After installing CAISDI/elmds using the procedures in the Installation Guide, follow this process to complete all customization tasks for both the CAISDI/els and CAISDI/med functions.

The CAISDI/elmds messages are distributed in CAW0OPTV member CDYFMSGS. The text of those messages can be changed (see specific instruction in the file). Each message has a WTO or NOWTO designation. The WTO indication causes messages to be issued as a WTO (see specific instructions in the file). If this file is changed, make a backup copy available as CAISDI/elmds does not start without a valid message file.

Note: Beginning with CA Commons Services for z/OS Release 14.1, CAISDI/elmds is the primary component replacing standalone CAISDI/med and standalone CAISDI/ els. If circumstances require you to run standalone CAISDI/els or standalone CAISDI/med components, see CAISDI/elmds Backout Procedure.
