CA CSM lets you track and install CA Recommended Services (CA RS) maintenance for your products.
CA Recommended Service (CA RS) is a set of maintenance packages that have been tested in a mainframe integrated system test environment. We recommend that you install CA RS maintenance to keep your products up-to-date. To keep yourself informed about new CA RS maintenance available, download (manually or automatically) all CA RS files that list published maintenance for that CA RS level.
CA Technologies releases CA RS maintenance on a regular basis. The release date determines the CA RS maintenance level.
To be informed about new CA RS maintenance available, download the CA RS files listed for published CA RS maintenance. You can configure CA CSM to download CA RS files automatically, or add CA RS files manually.
Based on information in CA RS files, you can filter CA RS maintenance in the SMP/E Environments, Maintenance section, and can select the packages that are applicable for within the CA RS level you want to install.
You can install particular CA RS maintenance packages, or update all products in a particular SMP/E environment.
Note: A CA RS file may list a maintenance package that has been marked as PE (PTF in Error) by the HOLDDATA and reflect a corrective maintenance package not listed in this CA RS file. This situation can occur if a maintenance package is found in error after the CA RS file is published. The CA RS processing continues as expected, and the maintenance package marked as PE is not applied. However, the CA RS level for the product is not updated to the current level until you apply the corrective maintenance package to the SMP/E environment.
