Acquisition Options

Specifies the settings used by CA CSM when downloading software packages.

CA MPS Usage

Excludes product installation packages from downloading to the software catalog during PAS processing. Other types of packages (for example, maintenance packages or documentation for the product package set) are downloaded normally.

Note: This setting is intended to be used by users who are members of the CA Maintenance Product Upgrade Service (CA MPS).

Ignore Common Products During Discovery

Excludes the CA Common Services for z/OS and CA CSM product packages and maintenance from being added to the Software Catalog during PAS processing when discovering other products.

Note: You can use this setting if you maintain different SMP/E environments for each of your CA Technologies products.

User, Password, and Confirm Password

Specify your credentials for authenticating yourself to the enabled proxies.

Note: If you are authenticating to an HTTP proxy that uses NTLM, you can specify your domain and user in the format: domain\username. You can only specify NTLM domain in one place, either user name or PASADVOPS.
