CAVARSRV Configuration Tasks

The CA Common Variable Service address space (CAVARSRV) is intended to support CA products which are required to maintain system and sysplex scope status variables.

To configure the use of this service, update the program properties table to account for CA Common Variable Service.

Your installation must define a program properties table entry for the CAVARSRV main program. This entry resides in the SCHEDxx member of the logical PARMLIB concatenation. You can apply this update dynamically with an operator SET SCH=(xx,yy,zz,L) command. This command does not require a z/OS IPL to implement the change.

Place the following PPT statement in the SCHEDxx PARMLIB member:

PPT PGMNAME(CAVDMAIN)      /* CAVARSRV Address Space Main Program  */
    KEY(4)                  /* Execution Key                        */

This statement is also found in the CAVDMAIN member in YourdeployHLQ.CAW0OPTN.

To start the CAVARSRV address space, issue the command:

F CAMASTER,START COMPONENT=CAVARSRV 

By default, this CAVARSRV address space is not automatically started at IPL time. To enable automatic starting of the CAVARSRV address space at IPL time, update your CAIMST20 member in the logical parmlib concatenation to include:

COMPONENT(CAVARSRV),	/* CAVARSRV Address Space	*/
		START=YES 	/* Start automatically at IPL	*/

This statement is also found in the CAVARSRV member in YourdeployHLQ.CAW0OPTN.
