Plan the MIMCMNDS Member

You use the commands found in the MIMCMNDS member to define facility-specific variables unique to the processing requirements at your site. This member name is pointed to in the PROCMIM member by the PROC CMNDS=MIMCMNDS statement.

See the sample MIMCMNDS member in the CAI.CBTDPARM data set. The commands found in this member are executed after the MIMINIT member statements and before synchronization completes. In general, this member contains SETOPTION commands for each facility being activated.

You can define the following settings in the MIMCMNDS parmlib member:

Define command aliases for CA MIM commands using the DEFALIAS command. You can substitute a command alias for the full command specification (including operands) when you want to issue that command.
You can use command aliases for these purposes:
- To issue a shorter version of a command (for example, in place of a display command that has several parameters)
- To issue a command in a way that is easier to remember or more consistent with commands that you already know
You can append additional parameters to a command alias. For example, if CONF was defined as DISPLAY CONFLICTS, you can append the QNAMES parameter to the CONF command alias like this:
```
CONF QNAMES
```
This tells CA MIM to execute the DISPLAY CONFLICTS QNAMES command.

You cannot specify the MCS L parameter in this list of parameters if you are issuing the DEFALIAS command from a console or from a TSO session.

Use the command name, rather than the alias, when looking up information about the command or when contacting CA Technical Support. Also, because of changes in command format or function, you may need to redefine existing aliases when you upgrade to a new release of CA MIM.
Disable a CA MIM command. Any command can be disabled, and individual operands can be disabled on the DISPLAY, DUMP, GLOBALVALUE, SETOPTION, and SETTRACE commands. Disabled commands and operands cannot be restored by any command, but they become available again once CA MIM is restarted. CA MIM parameters are command and command [facility] operands.
The DISABLE command is typically used to prevent system operators or TSO users from issuing specific CA MIM commands. Use the DISABLE Command.
Define operating values for the following general-purpose CA MIM functions:
- Control file. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM CFSIZEWARN
  - SETOPTION MIM CYCLES
  - SETOPTION MIM HIBERNATE
  - SETOPTION MIM INTERVAL
  - SETOPTION MIM LOCKOUT
  - SETOPTION MIM MARGIN
  - SETOPTION MIM MODE
- Commands. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM CMDPREFIX
  - SETOPTION MIM CMDRESPMAX
  - SETOPTION MIM CMDTIMEOUT
- Tracing. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM CELLTRACE
  - SETOPTION MIM RESETPRINT
  - SETOPTION MIM RESETTRACE
  - SETOPTION MIM SETPRINT
  - SETOPTION MIM SETTRACE
  - SETOPTION MIM TRACE
- Automated Free. Use the following parameter:
  - SETOPTION MIM DOWNSYS
- SMF. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM STATCOLLECT
  - SETOPTION MIM STATCYCLE
  - SETOPTION MIM STATINTERVAL
- Termination. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM LOCALSTOP
  - SETOPTION MIM SHUTDOWN
- Virtual control file. Use the following parameters:
  - SETOPTION MIM VCFFORCE
  - SETOPTION MIM VCFMAXDELAY
  - SETOPTION MIM VCFMINDORM
  - SETOPTION MIM VCFRECOVERY
