Configure Automatic CA RS File Download

You can configure CA CSM to download available CA RS files automatically. After download, the CA RS files are stored in a USS directory under the software catalog.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Settings tab, and click the Software Catalog link under System Settings in the Settings section on the left side.

    The Software Catalog page opens.

  2. In the CA RS Settings section, select the Enable Automatic Updates check box.

    The fields in the section become available.

  3. Set up values for the following fields, and click Apply:
    Owner of Update Task

    Specifies the TSO user ID under which the update task is run.

    Recurrence

    Specifies how often the task recurs.

    Update Software Catalog Every number of Days
    or
    Update Software Catalog On day of week Every number of Weeks

    Specifies the frequency of downloading CA RS files to your software catalog, in days or weeks, depending on the value of Recurrence.

    Note: Imagine you set the recurrence for a specific number of days and you set the time that precedes the current time. Then the first update occurs in the specified number of days at the specified time. For example, on Monday at 10.30am, you set the number of days to 3 and time to 07.00. The first update then occurs on the third day, Thursday, at 7.00am. When you set the time past the current time, the first update occurs on the same day at the time set. For example, on Monday at 10.30am, you set the number of days to 3 and time to 11.00. The first update then occurs on that Monday at 11.00am.

    System Time

    Specifies the system time when an automatic update occurs. The system time reflects your CA CSM application server time zone. The TZ parameter within Tomcat startup libraries defines the time zone. If the TZ parameter is not defined, the CA CSM application server time zone defaults to GMT – Greenwich Mean Time.

    Note: Local time is calculated based on the system time that you set.

    Note: To download available CA RS files to the software catalog immediately, click Update Immediately.

    The automatic CA RS download is configured.
