Configure CA DSI Server for CIA Real-Time

CA DSI Server provides a remotely callable interface that uses TCP/IP to allow applications anywhere within the enterprise to communicate with the mainframe ESMs. After you have defined the CIA repository, functions, and stored procedure in the DB2 subsystem or CA Datacom/AD MUF, configure and implement the CA DSI Server that is used for the CIA real-time process on the z/OS image with the DB2 subsystem or CA Datacom/AD MUF.

The following configures the CA DSI Server for use with CIA real-time updates. Add the lines only if you are configuring this CA DSI Server to support CIA real-time updates to the CIA repository.

Note: Perform this step on the z/OS image where the CA Chorus CIA repository resides.

Follow these steps:

  1. Manually edit the dsi.conf configuration file. For example, in USS use oedit or vi. In TSO use ishell or IPSF Edit, or use any other utility that can edit an HFS file. The dsi.conf file can be found in the directory that CA DSI Server was installed. Select the appropriate lines based on whether you are using DB2 or CA Datacom/AD, and add them to the end of the file.

    For DB2:

    PLUGIN CIADSMOD MODULE CIADSMOD 
    DBTYPE DB2 
    DB2SSID ssid 
    DB2PLAN CIADSREQ 
    

    Replace ssid with the CIA DB2 subsystem name or group attachment name where the CIA real-time plug-in connects.

    Note: If SDSNLOAD is not in the linklist, add it to the STEPLIB for the CA DSI Server started task (dsi.env).

    For example:

    //STEPLIB DD DSN=DSN910.SDSNLOAD,DISP=SHR
    

    Note: Enter all fields in uppercase.

    For CA Datacom/AD:

    PLUGIN CIADSMOD MODULE CIADSMOD 
    DBTYPE DATACOM 
    DCOMMUF mufname 
    

    Replace database-MUF-name with the name of the CA Datacom/AD MUF where the CIA real-time plug-in connects. CA Datacom/AD displays this value in the joblog at MUF statup in MUFNAME=.

    Note: Add the CA Datacom/AD CUSLIB to the STEPLIB concatenation for the CA DSI Server started task (dsi.env).

    For example:

    //STEPLIB DD DSN=DATACOM.CUSLIB,DISP=SHR
    

    Note: Enter all fields in uppercase.

  2. Choose the following options based on your site:

    Note: Enter all fields in uppercase.

    Important! Assign the DSI authorization to access the CA Datacom/AD or DB2 database plan. For authorization examples, see the DSICIA job in the CDT9JCL data set.
