Start CA Spool Version 12.0 for the First Time

Start the CA Spool Version 12.0 system for the first time as follows:

1. Enter the following command to activate the CA Spool VTAM resource:

   V NET,ACT,ID=aaaaaaaa
   

   where aaaaaaaa is the applid defined for CA Spool. Perform the following to start the system:

   1. Enter the following MVS start command on the MVS operator console:

      S procname,OPTION=FORMAT
      

   where procname is the member name of the CA Spool proc in your system procedure library.

   The following WTOR message asks you to confirm that the checkpoint data set must be overwritten:

   *yy  ESF053 REPLY Y OR N TO CONFIRM CHECKPOINT RECORD CHANGE
   

   1. To confirm, enter:

      R yy,Y
      

   2. CA Spool displays initialization progress with the following WTO messages:

      -ESF059  CHKPTDS1 COLD-START IS IN PROGRESS
      -ESF024  FORMATTING VOLUME=vvvvvv DSN=dddddddd.ssssssss.nnnnnnnn
      -ESF024  FORMAT COMPLETE V=vvvvvv DSN=dddddddd.ssssssss.nnnnnnnn
      -ESF041  INTERNAL TRACE REQUESTED, 512 ENTRIES ALLOCATED
      -ESF719  CA Spool  BASE   option enabled

      -ESF100  SIMPLE COLD START COMPLETED
      -ESF301  VIRTUAL PRINTER INTERFACE STARTED
      -ESF490  NETWORK INTERFACE STARTED
      

      The message NETWORK INTERFACE STARTED confirms a successful initialization.

2. As a quick check, enter the following display-status command from the MVS operator console (where "-“ is a communication character defined by COMCHAR statement in CAIQPARM):

   -DS
   

   CA Spool responds by writing the following messages to the MVS console:
