Start CA7ONL

Before starting CA7ONL for the first time after the logical database of the instance has been imported, modify the initialization file. The modifications inactivate queue movement and schedule scan so that you can verify the Version 12.0 environment before starting normal operations.

Code STOPQ=YES on the SCHEDULE statement to prevent any queue movement.
Code RUNOPT=NSTA on the INIT statement so that schedule scan is not active when you start CA7ONL Version 12.0.

Start CA7ONL using TYPE=WARM or TYPE=ERST.

Important! Do not start with TYPE=FORM or COLD. If you do, elements on the active workload queues and possibly the prior run queue are deleted.

Note: The messages that are associated with the /MSG, /BRO, and REMIND commands are typically retained across a WARM restart. However, these messages are not converted to the CA Datacom/AD database. They are not present after starting CA 7 the first time using with the converted database.

The conversion validation process must be successfully completed before you start CA 7 Version 12.0 Online with the logical database.

After you are satisfied that the Version 12.0 environment is correct:

Use the START,Q=ALL and SSCAN,SCAN=SCH commands to begin normal CA7ONL processing.
Edit the initialization file to undo the changes you made to the SCHEDULE and INIT statements.
