(MIM) ACTIVATE Command-Activate

The ACTIVATE command initiates new release features in the CA MIM complex.

Scope: Global

This command has the following format:

ACTIVATE COMPATLEVEL=(level,[FORCE]) | FEATURE=(featname, [FORCE])

COMPATLEVEL

Indicates the format of the CA MIM control file.

level

The acceptable values for this operand are 11.81, 11.82, and 12.0.

FORCE

(Optional) Tells CA MIM to ignore the lack of responses from any inactive or non-existent systems when processing a compatibility level activation request.

FEATURE

Indicates the name of a selectable feature to be activated.

featname

The name of the feature to be activated; for a list of the supported features, see the FEATURE parameter on the MIMINIT statement.

FORCE

(Optional) Tells CA MIM to ignore the lack of responses from any inactive or non-existent systems when processing an ACTIVATE command request.

Usage Notes: ACTIVATE Command

• If any active MIMplex members reject the named compatibility level or feature, or if any defined system fails to respond, then the ACTIVATE command is rejected. Causes for this failure are if the system is inactive or if the system does not exist. When ACTIVATE is rejected from inactive, or non-existent systems then the activation of the specified compatibility level cannot be made. Include the FORCE operand on the ACTIVATE command.
• The FORCE keyword is not honored when an active system fails to respond, or an active system specifically rejects the specified compatibility level activation.
• Once the requested compatibility level has been activated in the MIMplex, the installation must ensure that the corresponding change is accurately reflected on the MIMINIT COMPATLEVEL operand. This operand is specified in the MIMINIT member of the MIMPARMS data set.

  Important! Failure to specify this operand prevents CA MIM from joining the MIMplex on any subsequent CA MIM address space restart until the MIMINIT COMPATLEVEL parameter is changed.

• Once the requested FEATURE has been activated in the MIMplex, the installation must ensure that the corresponding change is accurately reflected on the MIMINIT FEATURE operand. This operand is specified in the MIMINIT member of the MIMPARMS data set.

  Important! Failure to specify this operand prevents CA MIM from joining the MIMplex on any subsequent CA MIM address space restart until the MIMINIT FEATURE parameter is changed.
