Customize the CAISDI/med Product Parameters

The CAISDI/med parameter member, MEDPARMS, is installed into CAI.CAW0OPTN during med or elmds installation. Copy this member into a system PARMLIB data set, so that customizations are not lost if future maintenance updates overwrite this member. CAISDI/med initialization statements found in the MEDPARMS member are read and processed during CAISDI/elmds address space initialization. Customize these statements so that CAISDI/med can operate in your unique environment.

You can customize the actual CAISDI/med parameter data set and member that is read during CAISDI/elmds address space initialization. Define them in the MEDINPUT symbolic for the //MEDPARMS DD statement found in the CAISDI/elmds (CDYFAPI) JCL PROC.

The initialization statements found in the MEDPARMS member, establish which z/OS-based CA products can communicate CA Service Desk tickets to the CA Service Desk product through CAISDI/med. Parameter specifications indicating the CA Service Desk server URL address, ticket attributes, z/OS-based product names, and others must be established using CAISDI/med initialization statements.
