CA CSM lets you initiate a background process to download maintenance files associated with a specific release for a licensed CA Technologies mainframe product. This process should be initiated on a periodic basis for each licensed product release installed to verify that all current maintenance is available to review and install.
Business Value:
CA CSM automates the acquisition of CA Technologies product and maintenance files to your mainframe system. This process compares your current CA CSM software catalog to what is currently available and downloads only what is missing. This process eliminates the need for someone to manually review the files available and manually transfer the files to your mainframe using FTP. By eliminating the manual effort, the support staff has more time to analyze the available maintenance and to easily install maintenance as needed. This will help you keep your CA Technologies mainframe products current and reduce the risk to your environment.
Additional Considerations:
Although CA CSM lets you initiate a product update action at the product level, we strongly recommend not doing this because it downloads all product and maintenance files for all releases available in the CA Download Center for the selected product. This will potentially download releases that are older and possibly not needed, could cause confusion, and could significantly increase the space required for CA CSM USS file systems.
