Address Space Creation Utility

It is a general performance rule that service providers should run at a higher dispatching priority than the requesters of their service. Because CA MIM provides system services for other z/OS address spaces and users, including other z/OS system address spaces, it is imperative that the CA MIM address space obtains the CPU resources it needs to complete its service requests in a time critical fashion. This is especially true when the CA MII component is active. The CA MIM address space should run as a system created address space to provide optimal throughput. System address spaces execute with a fixed dispatching priority of 255.

It is the purpose of the CA MIM Address Space Creation Utility to programmatically create a CA MIM address space as a system address space. Your current CA MIM JCL PROC name is used as input to the JCL PROC of the utility through the z/OS START command. You can use the CA MIM Address Space Creation Utility without making any changes to your existing CA MIM parameters, libraries, or JCL PROC.
