Refreshing CAISSF for CA-7

I apologize my frequency in the forums lately :) I can't seem to find a way to refresh the permissions to the CA-7 PA@EL resources without rolling the CA-7 address space. Am I expecting too much? I was sure I remembered a way to refresh either in CA-7 or at the CAIRIM/CAISSF level. Dave Gibney

If there are z13 models not listed in the earlier LSPR link, then why aren't they there? Or did I miss them? Again, the lowest z13 MSU I saw was about double what I need and on a bloody uniprocessor. I am z/OS and will be until its turned off. My most critical z/OS software comes from a vendor to
