C Installing Exits for Voyager

The exits that the Reconciliation Agent (Voyager) uses to capture real-time data are standard RACF exits and are all passive. They do not change data on the target system. These exits, ICHPWX01, ICHRIX02, and IRREVX01 are used in some environments and are not used in others. These exits can be installed after an initial installation of Pioneer (the Provisioning Agent).

To integrate the reconciliation exits into the target system environment, the approach illustrated by the following code block is recommended:

RET0     DS    0H
         L     R15,=V(USRRIX02)
         LM    R0,R12,20(R13)
         BR    R15

In this code block, USRRIX02 is the connector exit called LOGRIX02.

You must make the required changes in the existing exit to call LOGRIX02. For example, you must re-assemble and Linkedit the exit and then IPL.

Caution:

Both ICHRIX02 and ICHPWX01 use MODESET macros in assembler to place themselves in supervisor mode. A test LPA and test IEASYSXX must be developed for testing the new exits. Otherwise, if a coding error occurs, you might not be able to IPL the z/OS system.
