Apply Maintenance to CA CSM

Important! To download maintenance, your CA CSM login user name must be associated with a registered user of the CA Support Online website on the Product Acquisition Settings page.

Follow these steps:

1. Update the Software Catalog with the CA CSM maintenance information from the CA Support Online website:
   1. Go to the Products tab and locate CA Chorus Software Manager in the Available Products panel on the left.

      Note: If you do not see CA Chorus Software Manager in the tree, use one of the products that are installable with CA CSM for this process. These products reflect CA CSM as a component so the maintenance is reflected there also. For more information, see CA Chorus Software Manager Enabled Products in the Recommended Reading section of the CA CSM page on the CA Support Online website.

   2. Right-click CA Chorus Software Manager and select Update Product.

      The task takes some time to complete, and after it does, a message appears confirming that the software was successfully acquired.

   3. Click Hide.

      The message disappears.

   4. Locate the CA CSM maintenance in the right panel.
2. (Optional) Add test fixes using external maintenance.

   Note: For more information about applying test fixes and managing maintenance downloaded external to CA CSM, see the online help.

3. Review and apply the maintenance.

   The contents of the SMP/E target libraries and USS paths for CA CSM are updated. These libraries and paths are set up using the TargetHLQ and MSMPATH keywords in the MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties options file.

   Note: For more information about applying and managing maintenance, see the online help.

4. Stop CA CSM.

   CA CSM stops operation.

5. Deploy the maintenance for CA CSM to the CA CSM run-time libraries and USS paths. The libraries and USS paths are set up using the RunTimeMVSHLQPrefix and RunTimeUSSPath keywords in the MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties options file.
   1. Customize the JCL(MSMDEPLY) job. Update the JOB statement, and specify deploy for arg1.
   2. Submit the job.
6. Start CA CSM.

   CA CSM becomes operational with the maintenance.

Important! Distinguish between the SMP/E target libraries and USS paths, and the runtime libraries and USS paths. CA CSM executes out of the runtime libraries and USS paths. When you apply maintenance, only the SMP/E target libraries and USS paths are updated. You must stop CA CSM and submit the MSMDEPLY job to update the runtime libraries and USS paths. Those updates take effect when you restart CA CSM.
