How to Configure SDS and SCS in CA CSM

How to Configure SDS and SCS in CA CSM

CA Chorus™ Software Manager (CA CSM) can help automate acquiring, installing, maintaining, deploying, and configuring mainframe software. As a system programmer, your responsibilities include configuring the Software Deployment Service (SDS) and Software Configuration Service (SCS) in CA CSM.

The Software Deployment Service (SDS) facilitates product deployment. Deployment is a process of copying SMP/E target libraries from a driving system (where the CA CSM application server is running) to a target (remote destination) system. The target system could be the local z/OS system, a remote z/OS system, a staging system, or a sysplex.

The Software Configuration Service (SCS) facilitates product configuration. Configuration is a process of copying target libraries to run-time libraries and customizing the product for your site to bring it to an executable state.

Use this scenario to guide you through the process:

1. Upgrade CA Common Services for z/OS with CETN600.
2. Configure SDS.
   1. Set up authorization and permissions for SDS access.
   2. Set up CCIDSCSV and CCISPNSV on each target system.
   3. Set up the system registry.
   4. Set up FTP locations and data destinations.
   5. Validate systems.
   6. (Optional) Set up a secure FTP connection for deployment.
3. Configure SCS.
   1. Verify UNIX socket requirements.
   2. Configure the MSMCPROC and MSMCAUX JCL procedures.
   3. Configure security.
   4. Set up the system registry.
   5. Connect to the SCS address space.
   6. Review and prepopulate system registry values.
   7. Maintain the SCS address space.
   8. Start and stop the SCS address space.
