Product Identity

You can display lists all of the members of a given library and identify what products those members belong to. This display combines FMID information contained in the CSI and the CA Auditor internal database to identify program modules. The Program Origin option relies on naming conventions to identify a program.

During processing, CA Auditor verifies the library contents against information in the CSI and its own database. CA Auditor uses the information you specify in the Product Identity Selection screen to find associated FMIDs in the CSI. Once the FMIDs are found, CA Auditor attempts to locate the corresponding FMID entries in its internal database. CA Auditor then displays the program names, FMIDs, descriptions, and vendors for those products that match the criteria that you specified. CA Auditor also shows you when the program is an alias of another program.

You can limit the search to only those programs that cannot be found in the CSI by specifying YES in the Display unrecognized programs only field. If you specify NO, CA Auditor presents all program products and flags those not found in the CSI. If CA Auditor cannot find an FMID entry in the FMID list, that entry in the display is also flagged for review. This indicates that more research is necessary to determine the origin of that particular FMID.

To list the members of a library

  1. From the Primary Menu, select option 2.

    The System Installation Choices Menu is displayed.

  2. Select option 3.

    The Program Library Analysis Using SMP/E screen is displayed.

  3. Select option 4.

    The Product Identity Selection screen is displayed. CA Auditor returns only the program products that match all of the criteria. You can also mask each field to retrieve all of the program products.

    To create this display, CA Auditor uses information from the SMP/E CSI to search the FMID table. If CA Auditor cannot find an FMID in the CSI or cannot identify the program product represented by the FMID, CA Auditor flags the program with an asterisk.
