Preview and Save the Deployment

After you select a system, you are ready to preview the deployment, and then save or deploy it.

• To save the deployment, click Save.
• To set up the deployment, click Deploy The deploy functionality combines the snapshot, transmit, and deploy actions into one action, letting you copy your CA CSM product onto systems across your enterprise. For example, you can send one or many products to one or many systems by copying it to a shared DASD or through FTP..

  To successfully deploy products to remote systems, you must have remote credentials for the systems. If you do not have remote credentials for the systems where you want to deploy the product, or you do not have default remote credentials defined on the User Settings, Remote Credentials page, the Remote Credentials Properties dialog appears. Define remote credentials for the systems, and click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog.

Note: Click Cancel to exit the wizard without saving.

The Preview identifies the deployment and describes the products, systems, means of transport, and target libraries (including source, target, and resolution), as well as the SMP/E environment and snapshot information.

You can click Print in the top right corner to print this information, which you can then refer to when deploying the product. A standard Print dialog opens that uses the print capabilities of your browser and installed printers.

Important! Data sets may need to be APF-authorized and added to the Link List and Link Pack Area. These data sets are identified in this dialog.

Note: ??? in the Preview indicates that CA CSM has yet to assign this value.
