CA GMI Components

CA GMI consists of the following two components:

z/OS Server

Installed on the mainframe.

User-Interface (PC) Clients

The following user-interface clients are available:

Windows Client

This client is a Windows-based user-interface. This client provides full functionality and when you install the Windows Client you also install the Config Client and the CAVantage SRM documentation set. You can use the Config Client to set CAVantage SRM parameters.

Web Client

This client is a web-based user interface. The client can be used from any PC with internet access to the web client application server. You can access the CAVantage SRM documentation set from the web client. The current web client provides partial functionality compared to the Windows client.

Note: Install the Windows client first and then the web client. The Windows client contains the Config client which you can use to set CAVantage SRM system parameters.

3270-based interface (View 3270 Client)

This client provides partial functionality that is limited to:

User-driven functionality of view and analysis
Filtering and sorting, zooming
Ability to initiate actions on selected entries

Note: The View 3270 Client is considered a character-based user-interface, not a graphic-based user-interface, so it is not discussed in this guide. For View 3270 Client installation and configuration information, see the chapter "Configuring CA GMI" in the CAVantage SRM Configuration Guide. For more information about using the View 3270 Client, see the chapter "Navigating the View 3270 Client" in the CAVantage SRM User Guide.
