CA MIM Product State Management

CA MIM provides a direct interface to the CA OPS/MVS System State Manager (SSM) application to notify CA OPS/MVS of the current operating state of the given CA MIM address space. The CA OPS/MVS SSM application can use this information to automatically control the operation of the CA MIM address space, as well as any other address space that is dependent upon the CA MIM address space being active. For more information on using CA OPS/MVS SSM see the CA OPS documentation.

The CA MIM product active state is presented to CA OPS/MVS and can be processed by the following rule:

)API CASTATE

The available OPS/REXX variables for CA MIM product state management are:

OPS/REXX Variable Value

API.APPLICATION MiMgr

API.VERSION Current release

API.LEVEL Service Level

API.EVENTID CASTATE

API.MSGID CASTATE

API.TEXT State of MiMgr is state

The API.TEXT variable has the following format:

State of appl_id is current_state'
appl_id

Specifies the same value as the API.APPLICATION variable

current_state
STARTING

UP

CA MIM is active and is managing global resource activity

STOPPING
