CA Datacom/AD MUF Startup Options for CA 7 details the options that you use.

To use an existing CA Datacom/AD Version 14.0 MUF for the CA WA CA 7 Edition database, ensure that these options are applied.

To determine the options that are currently set for the MUF, examine the SYSPRINT from the MUF job. The startup options are output as message DB01900I at the top. You can also execute the CAL2JCL member AL2DCINF to see information about the active CA Datacom/AD environment. The information includes the DBSIDPR settings and data about the MUFs in your system.

Compare these options in the MUF SYSPRINT to the options that CA WA CA 7 Edition requires.

Ensure that the MUF has sufficient space to accommodate CA WA CA 7 Edition scheduling data.

The amount of space varies depending on the size of the workload. The CAL2DCVS utility can help you with this estimate.

Note: For more information, see the Systems Programming Guide.

If you are upgrading, you use backups of your existing scheduling data to estimate the amount of space that the MUF requires. This estimation is described in Database Conversion.

Review backup, recovery, and spill plans for use with CA WA CA 7 Edition. If you plan to use an existing MUF, consider modifying its backup and recovery procedures to meet the needs of CA WA CA 7 Edition. This topic is discussed in the Systems Programming Guide.
