Multilayered Architecture

CA Common Services for z/OS is composed of a software services layer and a management services layer. The software services layer includes a suite of industry standard integration and distributed processing services to unify software applications. The management services layer provides a web-based, real-world graphical interface and monitoring of application and system events.

Each service component is assigned to a packaging bundle. The CA Common Services bundles are:

Note: More bundles can be added as new Common Services are made available before a new release of CA Common Services becoming available. Visit the CA Support Online website for a list of the most current CA Common Services bundles.

All the components that are found in the Base Common Services bundle must be installed. The components that are found in the other bundles are required based on the needs of your site and are optional.
