Technical Overview › Installation Procedure › Initialization

Initialization

CA Spool initialization depends on a set of options processed when CA Spool is started, and a set of parameters, which CA Spool reads from a data set during initialization.

These options let you:

• Define how CA Spool performs initialization by requesting a warm or a cold start (with forced formatting of spool volumes)
• Enable or disable the logging facility and can generate a printout of the parameter data set.

The parameters define which CA Spool functions and device defaults must be overridden including:

• Local and remote device characteristics
• Spool and checkpoint control parameters
• Changes in the various CA Spool default parameter values

Note: For more information about initialization parameters, see the Customization Guide.
