Start Your CA MIM Address Spaces

NOTE: If CA MIM GDIF is active, we recommend starting CA MII using the Early Start Mechanism in this guide.

Use the z/OS START command to start the CA MIM address space on each system.

This step assumes that CA MIM starts on three systems as defined on the DEFSYS statement found in the CAI.CBTDPARM(MIMINIT) parmlib member. The DEFSYS statement example:

DEFSYS (PROD1,P1,SMF1),(PROD2,P2,SMF2),(TEST1,TT,SMF3)

The CA MIM startup JCL PROC is named MIMGR. The DASD control and checkpoint files are formatted when CA MIM first starts.

These steps start CA MIM on each system and format new control and checkpoint files.

Follow these steps:

1. On the first system, issue the following z/OS command:

   START MIMGR,FORMAT=BOTH
   

2. On the second system, issue the following z/OS command:

   START MIMGR,FORMAT=CHKPT
   

3. Repeat Step 2 for the third system.

Message MIM0023I displays on all three systems. An example message follows:

MIM0023I SYSTEM sysid IN FILE 00 SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETE

The CA MIM tasks on each system are now active and communicating with one another.
