CAIRIM

CAIRIM, the CAI Resource Initialization Manager, is the common driver for a collection of dynamic initialization routines that eliminate the need for user SVCs, SMF exits, subsystems, and other installation requirements commonly encountered when installing systems software.

These routines are grouped under the CA dynamic service code S910. Some of CAIRIM's features are:

• Obtaining SMF data
• Verification of proper software installation
• Installation of z/OS and OS/390 interfaces
• Automatic startup of CA and other vendor products
• Proper timing and order of initialization.

CA Librarian uses CAIRIM to install the CA Librarian subsystem and SVC.
