CA CSM Data Set Types

CA CSM has six groups of data sets. They are organized in the following types:

Application Root: hlq.APLROOT

This data set is used as the root USS file system that stores the directory structure for CA CSM.

Temporary Areas: hlq.Tx

These data sets are temporary file systems that are used as temporary areas for CA CSM processing. These data sets are allocated during CA CSM operation as required and are deleted when no longer needed.

Log Journal: hlq.LJWKx

These data sets are used to store task output results, and their content appears in the Tasks tab for the finished tasks. To delete this content using CA CSM, use the Delete Task button on the Task tab.

Software Catalog: hlq.CASCx

These data sets store all the downloaded products and maintenance packages that can be viewed in the software catalog. A data set with a suffix CASC is usually configurable, with a default value of CASC. The data sets are removed after deployment is completed or deleted.

Note: In previous versions of CA CSM, the default software catalog data set had the suffix MSMT.

Deployment Temporary Area: hlq.SDSROOT

This data set is a temporary file system that is used as a temporary area for CA CSM deployment processing. CA CSM deletes the content of this file system after the data is no longer needed. If any content remains there after CA CSM shuts down, you can manually delete the content from the appropriate USS directories without affecting CA CSM.

Deployment: hlq.Dx

These data sets are used for deployment processing and contain deployment data. To remove this content using CA CSM, select Remove from the Action drop-down list on the Deployment tab.

Important! Do not delete these data sets or the content from these data sets manually outside of CA CSM. Manually deleting data sets causes missing task output or CA CSM to fail.
