Step 14c. Load the New SVC

If you intend to install the updated SVC as part of your next IPL, you do not have to alter the CAS9 or CAIRIM task that initializes many CA products.

If you intend to update the SVC dynamically, prepare a custom job that looks like the following job.

//xxx       JOB ....
//CAIRIM   EXEC PGM=CAIRIM
//STEPLIB   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=library-containing-CA-Common-Svcs
//          DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=library-containing-new-CADSSVC
//          DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=library-containing-CA Dispatch
//PARMLIB   DD  *
 PRODUCT(CA DISPATCH) VERSION(DSB7) INIT(DSINIT) PARM(CADSSVC)
//AUTOCMDS  DD  DUMMY
//KEYS      DD  DUMMY

The data specified in the VERSION parameter must change each time the CAIRIM program is run for each system IPL so that CAIRIM will actually load the new SVC routine. Typically, you specify DSB7 for the first run after an IPL, DSBA the second time, and so on.

You can start CA Dispatch using your normal startup procedure after the new SVC routine is installed by CAIRIM.
