Customize CA-GSS for CA MIM

CA MIM has a Tape Preferencing Control Facility (TPCF) that provides information on tape device allocation for devices 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:

• CA Sysview
• CA OPS/MVS
• CA Jobtrac
• CA View

There may also be other integration paths available between these and other products and if you decide to do product integration, you should consult the product documentation for alternative methods or check with CA Technical Support. The GSS method of integration may have been superceded by more advanced techniques.

Make sure 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.

To customize CA-GSS for CA MIM

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 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 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.

   With respect to the ADDRESS parameter, note the following:

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

   • CA‑distributed IMODs expect the address names TPCF. If you use another name, provide the ALTNAME parameter to define TPCF.
   • The load module name reflects the name as shipped on the CA MIM tape. Make sure that this load module resides in an APF‑authorized library that is accessible to CA‑GSS.
