Deploy the Product to the Destination System

Deployment is a process of copying SMP/E target libraries to a destination system. The destination system could be the local z/OS system, a remote z/OS system, or a sysplex. You identify the destination system, deployed data set names, and the transport mechanism as part of the deployment process. Deploying a product makes it available for configuration.

Important! Before you deploy a product, set up the destination systems and remote credentials in the system registry.

If you use SMP/E USERMODs to implement any of the CA 1® Tape Management user exits, APPLY these USERMODs to the SMP/E CSI and zone created by the Software Installation Service before initiating deployment. This allows the Software Deployment Service to replicate the user exit programs in the hlq.CTAPLINK data set to multiple destination systems. The USERMODs to install the CA 1® Tape Management user exits are provided in hlq.CTAPJCL. The exit source is provided in hlq.CTAPSAMP.

To create multiple versions of each user exit, use a unique name that can be specified in member TMOOPTxx during configuration processing. This allows a customized version of each exit to run on each destination system.

Note: For more information about the user exits supported by CA 1® Tape Management, see the Programming Guide.

The Software Deployment Service (SDS) facilitates the deployment of mainframe products from the software inventory of the driving system to the destination system, including deploying installed products that are policy driven with a set of appropriate transport mechanisms across a known topology.

You perform the following high-level tasks to deploy your products using CA CSM:

You can use the SDS component of CA CSM to deploy a CA Technologies product that you have already acquired and installed.

Follow these steps:

1. Set up the system registry:
   1. Determine the systems you have at your enterprise.
   2. Set up remote credentials for those systems.
   3. Set up the destination systems (Non-Sysplex, Sysplex or Monoplex, Shared DASD Cluster, and Staging), and validate them.
   4. Add network information, including data destination information, to each system registry entry.
2. On the Deployments tab, set up methodologies.

   Note: You can also set up methodologies when creating a deployment, or use existing methodologies, if you have set up any previously. If you do so, you can skip this step.

3. Start the New Deployment wizard to create a deployment. Complete each of the steps in the wizard. The wizard guides you through choosing deployment settings for your site. At any point, you can save your work and come back to it later.

   Note: If you deploy other products to the previously defined systems using the same methodologies, create a separate deployment.

4. Deploy:
   1. Take a snapshot of the deployment.
   2. Transmit the deployment to a destination system.
   3. Deploy (unpack) to the mainframe environment.

   CA CSM deploys the product to the destination system.

After the deployment process completes, the product is ready for you to configure.
