CA Common Services for z/OS

CA Common Services for z/OS (CCS) includes distributed services common to CA Technologies implementations and solutions specific to z/OS. CCS provides a common interface and event services to create multiple, unified resource views.

This z/OS hosted enterprise management architecture expands the choice of what and where to manage, similar to how CCS works on Windows and UNIX platforms. CCS also contains the essential components and functionality to enable integrated management of z/OS.

CCS includes support for applications that are based on z/OS UNIX System Services. CCS also furnishes the Agent Technology infrastructure to run z/OS Agents.

CA Common Services for z/OS let you:

• Integrate your mainframe with other distributed platforms.
• Manage emerging z/OS workloads such as web servers, Java applications, and UNIX applications.
• Use existing CA Technologies z/OS management solutions to create events that can be routed to other enterprise platforms where such events can create desired business outcomes.
• Achieve enterprise-wide, automated, high-level monitoring and management of critical resources using sophisticated manager and agent technology, together with CA Technologies products.
