Post-Installation Considerations

Now that CA MIM is successfully installed and started, consider the following:

For more information about shutting down CA MIM, see the Global Shutdown Procedure section in the CA MIM for z/OS Programming Guide.
Tune CA MIM to optimize the handling of your workloads and processing requirements.
Note: For more information, see the CA MIM Programming Guide.
In addition to using shared DASD control files as a cross-system communication medium, CA MIM can use other types of hardware for this purpose. For most sites, using a shared DASD control file is adequate. However, when the environment requires faster throughput, consider implementing one of the other CA MIM cross-system communication methods.
Note: For more information, see the CA MIM Programming Guide.
CA MIM has a robust suite of commands to help systems personnel manage multisystem data-sharing environment.
Note: For more information, see the CA MIM Statement and Command Reference Guide.
