How You Back Up CA CSM

CA CSM backup is a several-step process.

Note: For backup, select and use a method that is appropriate for your site and environment. Managing the backup should be a part of your disaster backup routine.

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the CA CSM application server.
2. Back up the following operating system settings:
   • Settings of the operating system such as ports, DASDs, HLQs
   • Java

     Note: The Java version must be supported by CA CSM.

   • TCP/IP
   • SAF

     Note: CA Datacom/MSM SVC is expected to be the same, and a list of APF-authorized data sets is preserved.

3. Obtain a list of data sets representing deployment file systems, software catalog file systems, and so on. The data sets are stored in the mountpoint table, the MP_DATASET column.

   Note: To obtain a list of the data set, you can submit JCL that runs a SQL statement.

4. Stop the CA Datacom/MSM server and the MUF.
5. Back up the following CA CSM data sets:
   • Data sets representing mount points

     If you did not allocate individual file systems for these mount points, perform the following steps:

     1. Unmount all file systems that are mounted under the following file systems if they exist:

           /u/users/msmserv/msminstall
           /u/users/msmserv/msm
           /u/users/msmserv/msmruntime
           /u/users/msmserv/mpm
        

     2. Back up the directory structure corresponding to /u/users/msmserv.
   • All the data sets that you obtained from the mountpoint table.
   • All data sets under HLQs (CSIHLQ, TargetHLQ, DlibHLQ, DatabaseHLQ, and RunTimeMVSHLQPrefix) specified in the options file (MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties).
