Software Requirements

The following software is required for CA Chorus Infrastructure Management:

• CA Chorus Software—The following software is required:
  • CA Chorus Version 03.0.00

    For initial site installations, you install CA Chorus and the disciplines at the same time as described in the CA Chorus Installation Guide.

    When you are installing a discipline into an existing CA Chorus instance, confirm that the version of your discipline matches the CA Chorus version.

  • (Optional) CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management Version 03.0.00

    Note: You require this software only if you run IBM DB2.

    Important! This software is required to view DB2 performance data from CA Chorus Infrastructure Management. This guide describes the CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management prerequisites for this implementation. You do not have to refer to the CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management Site Preparation Guide.

    If you are installing and configuring both CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management and CA Chorus Infrastructure Management, configure CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management first and no additional configuration is required for CA Chorus Infrastructure Management.

• The following software that provides the source of data:

  Important! Apply all current CA Chorus FIXCAT maintenance for the CA Technologies products. The FIXCAT label is CA.ProductInstall-RequiredService.CA-Mainframe-Chorus.*, where * indicates the version of CA Chorus that you are installing.

  • (Optional) CA Insight DPM Version 15.0 or higher

    Important! This software is required to view DB2 performance data from CA Chorus Infrastructure Management. If you have already installed CA Insight DPM while implementing CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management, no additional configuration is required for CA Chorus Infrastructure Management.

    Note: For more information about installing CA Insight DPM, see the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS Installation Guide and Implementation Guide. To prepare CA Insight DPM for CA Chorus, see Configure the CA Insight DPM Data Source in this guide.

  • CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP Release 12.1

    When you apply the maintenance, pay attention to the following fixes:

    • R056668 has HOLDDATA reason ACTION (also replaces fix R055386).
    • R056669 has HOLDDATA reason ACTION and DDDEF (also replaces R055387). Apply R056669 DDDEF HOLDDATA before SMP/E RECEIVE is done.

    Note: For more information about preparing the CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region for CA Chorus, see How to Configure the Data Sources in this guide.

  • CA SYSVIEW Performance Management Release 13.7 with the following site applicable options:
    • CA SYSVIEW Option for CICS
    • CA SYSVIEW Option for IMS
    • CA SYSVIEW Options for WebSphere MQ

    Note: For more information about installing and configuring these products, see the product installation and implementation documentation. To prepare CA SYSVIEW for CA Chorus, see Configure the CA SYSVIEW Data Source in this guide.

  • (Optional) IBM DB2 V8 New Function Mode (NFM), or DB2 9, or DB2 10

    Note: This software is required to view DB2 performance data from CA Chorus Infrastructure Management.

• PC software that is required for each user:
  • Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124 or above
  • At the release of Version 3.0, CA Chorus supports Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 9 and Mozilla Firefox 13 through 19. As new browsers are released, we will validate them and post compatibility on the CA Chorus product page under Content Type, Recommended Reading.
