About the Service Level

CA provides the service level designation for CA Common Services for z/OS to ensure that you are using the correct version. It also ensures you are using the correct documentation for the CA Common Services for z/OS tape you are running.

To use LMP, CA Auditor requires CA Common Services for z/OS at service level C1/9901 or higher.

The service level indicates the level of functionality of the CA Common Services for z/OS installation and maintenance tapes for which a corresponding documentation set is published. Each time a new service or new or enhanced function is added (installed through either a new genlevel or maintenance tape), the service level is incremented. In such a situation, the release number usually remains the same (the CA Common Services for z/OS release number pertains to the CAIENF service and changes only when the release of the CAIENF service itself advances). When the release number does advance, the genlevel and service level are also incremented.
