Run Update Product List Monthly

CA CSM lets you initiate a background process to populate and update the inventory of licensed products based on your site IDs. This process should be initiated at least monthly.

Business Value:

The Update Product List function automatically populates the CA CSM product catalog with the available releases and gen levels available from the CA Download Center for each of your licensed mainframe products. By running this task at least monthly, you help to ensure that you have awareness of all product packages as they become available. It also ensures that you have access to acquire these newly released products (releases and gen levels) using the CA CSM Product Acquisition Service.

Additional Considerations:

If you have multiple site IDs defined to your account on the CA Support Online website, CA CSM uses the site ID specified for the Login SiteId setting in your account profile on the CA Support Online website.
