Customize CA-GSS for CA MIM

CA MIM has a Tape Preferencing Control Facility (TPCF) that provides information about tape device allocation for devices that are shared among multiple CPUs. This information is available to REXX IMODs through ADDRESS TPCF and the $SRV_TPCF service routine.

GSS provides the potential, with its REXX IMOD functionality, to setup integrations between the following CA products:

Other integration paths can be available between these and other products. If you decide to do product integration, consult the product documentation for alternative methods or contact with CA Technical Support. Some advanced techniques can supersede the GSS method of integration.

Help ensure that the MIMAPI1 API module is available. This module resides in the CA MIM Load Library. This library must be in the APF list.

Note: For more information about the API module for CA MIM, see the CA NSM CA‑MIA Systems Programmer Guide.

Follow these steps:

  1. Modify the JCL.

    If the CA MIM MIMAPI1 load module is not in a LINKLIST Library, include the library that contains the load module as a STEPLIB in the CA‑GSS PROC.

  2. Modify the CA‑GSS parameters.

    As needed, modify the CA‑GSS initialization parameters that affect CA‑GSS' CA MIM support. Examples of these parameters are contained in the MIM member of the CAW0OPTN data set.

    Most of the parameters in the MIM member are commented out. To activate one of them, replace its leading asterisk (*) with a blank.

    You can copy the contents of the MIM member to your RUNPARM member, or you can simply provide an INCLUDE MIM statement.

    Concerning the ADDRESS parameter, note:

    The ADDRESS environment is provided on the CA MIM distribution media as a load module available to REXX IMODs.
