Plan the MIMSYNCH Member

The MIMSYNCH member of the CA MIM parameter data set contains CA MIM, z/OS, and z/OS subsystem commands you wish to execute when CA MIM synchronizes with the other systems in the MIMplex.

This member name is pointed to in the MIMPROC member by the PROC SYNCH=MIMSYNCH statement. Commands found in this member execute after MIMINIT statements and MIMCMNDS commands have executed, and only after all CA MIM address spaces in the complex have synchronized.

We recommend that VARY commands be placed in this member when you are running CA MIA.

You can use VARY commands to alter the online/offline status of a device. You can also use VARY commands to assign a special status to a device to influence device selection. See the section Changing the Status of Managed Devices and Influencing Device Selection in the chapter “Advanced Topics” in this guide.
