Hi,

I met with a weird problem which requires an understanding of how the CA7 scheduler works. If one logs into an LPAR, we can see his ID in the SPOOL. So it can be inferred as some kind of Jobs running in the background. While other utilities like IDCAMS, etc would be available in a dataset that is available across the different LPARS. CA-7 scheduler like CICS and does not execute a job. Could log in to the CA-7 for a particular LPAR. I like to know how these tools/utlilities are run/installed in the MVS. Kindly help me with this info and also with any relevant materials on this topic.

Expecting your earliest positive reply,

And Thanking you in advance,

CA-7 and CICS and many other things are started tasks - effectively jobs. They use JCL just like ordinary jobs and tso logons. They are started by commands issued by operators - or automation.

They are installed like any other software - loaded to the PDSes and those added to the the JCL. But if you want real detail you should dig out the manuals. The CICS installation guide will be on the IBM website. The CA-7 on the CA website, under lock and key.
