Product Maintenance Activation

CA MIM sustaining engineering delivers corrective product code and element changes using standard IBM SMP/E ++APAR and ++PTF protocols. Complete the SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY processing, and refresh the run-time MIM loadlib. Stop and then restart the CA MIM address space to activate the corrective code. CA MIM does not currently support the F LLA, REFRESH command to refresh dynamically CA MIM run-time load modules. Therefore, it requires planning to verify that CA MIM service is activated correctly.

The following items are assumed default actions with regard to getting a CA MIM ++PTF activated:

• An IPL is not required.
• The ++PTF change can be activated by stopping CA MIM on a single system. A global MIMplex-wide shutdown is not required.
• Restarting the CA MIM address space with the REUSE=NO option is not required.
• Restarting the CA MIM address space with a Control File or Checkpoint Files FORMAT is not required.
• The ++PTF can be activated using the SHUTDOWN RESTART command. For details on this command, see the CA MIM Statements and Commands Reference, the CA MIM Programming Guide, and the CA MIM Installation Guide.

If there are exceptions to these actions, a ++HOLD SYSTEM statement is embedded in the ++PTF to alert clients regarding special installation/activation requirements.

For more information, see the CA MIM Programming Guide for detailed considerations regarding CA MIM address space termination and activation.
