Back Up Installation Options File and Summary Report

The CA CSM installation USS directory path can be deleted after the installation is completed, but there are two files that you should back up before deleting this directory path. The files are located in the following path:

/parent_path/msmserv/version_number/msminstall/MSMSetup 

where parent_path is the CA CSM parent path name defined at your site, for example, one of the following:

/u/users/
/usr/lpp/
/cai/

The following files are the files that you need to back up:

MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties

The CA CSM installation process uses the MSMSetupOptionFile to customize the installation based on your environment. This file contains all of the information that would be required to reinstall in the event of a disaster, or to install on another LPAR within your environment. We recommend creating a backup of this file (either in another USS directory or in a z/OS data set).

MSMSummaryReport.txt

The installation utility creates a summary report of the installation that includes critical information about the installation. This information is a good reference document and can be used for identifying information about the files being used, as well as the URL required to access the application. We recommend creating a backup of this file (either in another USS directory or in a z/OS data set).

Business Value:

This helps ensure you are prepared to recover CA CSM in the event of a disaster.
