Define Vendor and Product Information

CA CSM can be used to install and maintain software from vendors other than CA Technologies. Use this procedure to define other software vendors and their product information in CA CSM.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Products tab, and click the Add Product link in the Actions section on the left side.

    You are prompted to supply information about the product.

  2. In the Vendor drop-down field, type the name of the vendor that released the product.
  3. Specify the name, release, and gen level for a product that this vendor released, and click OK.

    The vendor is added to the software catalog, with the product. When you add future products from this vendor, you can select them from the Vendor drop-down field.
