The tab includes the following sections:

Search

Configurations

The following two Configurations sections are on the page:

The Configurations pane on the right side contains the following columns:

Select

Contains check boxes that you can click to select a configuration when using the links across the top of the right pane. You can only select multiple configurations if you are deleting configurations.

Name

Identifies the name of the configuration, as defined in the configuration wizard.

System

Identifies the system assigned to the configuration.

Status

Identifies the current status for the configuration.

Created

Identifies the date that the configuration was created.

Modified

Identifies the date that the configuration was last modified.

Actions

Contains a drop-down list of actions that can be performed against the configuration.

You can perform the following actions on the configurations:

Resume Configuration

Opens a previously saved configuration so that you can resume the Configuration wizard. You can only resume configurations with a status of Under Construction.

Delete

Deletes configurations that you have previously created if they become unnecessary.

Note: Deleting a configuration in CA CSM only deletes it from CA CSM. Deleting does not reverse the configuration or change your mainframe environment.

Build

Builds a configuration in preparation for the implementation. You can only build configurations with a status of Ready to Build or Build Failed.

Validate

Opens the Validate Configuration dialog, where you can navigate through the implement configuration process without actually copying any files to the target system. You can only validate configurations with a status of Build completed, Validated, Validation error, or Implementation error.

Implement

Opens the Implement Configuration dialog, where you can navigate through the implement configuration process and complete the configuration of the product on the target system. You can only implement configurations with a status of Build completed, Validated, Validation error, Implementation stopped, or Implementation error.

Rename

Lets you rename the configuration and update its description.

Edit

Opens for editing the configuration that you have previously created and built. You can only edit configurations with a status of Build completed, Build failed, Validated, or Validation error.

Reset Status

Resets the status of a configuration if there are interruptions in the implementation of a configuration. Examples of interruptions are IPL of the z/OS system or any stoppage of the SCS address space during the processing.

Note: Resetting the status also releases any locks that the web-based interface placed on the configuration. These locks are used to prevent multiple users from modifying the configuration concurrently.
