CAIRIM

CAIRIM (CAI Resource Initialization Manager) is the common driver for a collection of dynamic initialization routines. These initialization routines eliminate the need for user SVCs, SMF exits, subsystems, and other installation requirements that you might commonly encounter when you install systems software

CAIRIM prepares the operating system for CA products and components, and then executes them.

This is a list of some of the tasks CAIRIM performs:

• Obtains SMF data
• Verifies proper software installation
• Installs MVS interfaces
• Automatically starts CA products and the products of other vendors
• Properly times and sets the order of the initialization

Note: CA View requires CAIRIM to run the required CA LMP.
