System Registry

The System Registry page lists system types.

You can find out more about a system type by clicking its link. The page contains the following fields:

Non-Sysplex Systems

A non-sysplex is a stand-alone z/OS system that is not part of a sysplex or a monoplex system.

Sysplex

A sysplex (SYStem comPLEX) is the IBM mainframe system complex which is a single logic system running on one or more physical systems. Each of the physical systems that make up a sysplex, is often referred to as a “member” system.

Shared DASD Cluster

A shared DASD clusters system is a set of systems that shared DASD and it can be composed of sysplex and/or non-sysplex systems. Staging system cannot be part of a shared DASD cluster.

Staging System

A staging system is a virtual system that deploys the deployment to the computer where the CA CSM driving system is located. To use a staging system, the CA CSM driving system must be registered in the CA CSM system registry. A staging system can be useful in testing your deployments, and learning deployment in general. It can also be used if your target systems are outside a firewall. For example, deploy to a staging system and then manually copy the deployment to tape.

Note: Right-click Non-Sysplex Systems, Sysplexes, Shared DASD Clusters, or Staging Systems from the tree on the left side, and you can create a new system registry entry.
