Hello Chris,
My name is Joseph Reilly and I'm the Product Owner for CA Common Service for z/OS which includes the component CAIRIM. The PTF you have pointed out changes CAIRIM by adding the new OPS/MVS Integration Service. We inadvertently left out a link in the HOLDDATA to a better description of the OPS/MVS Integration Service.
The OPS/MVS Integration Service is strictly used by CA products to easily integrate with any OPS/MVS instances that you have running and if you don't it informs the CA products so they can take appropriate action. OPS/MVS had provided an assembler interface but this new service provides both a Java and a C interface.
I hope this helps clarify the situation. Please let me know.
Thanks!
Joe
