How to Configure CA Common Services With CA CSM

The Software Configuration Service (SCS) facilitates the mainframe product configuration from the software inventory of the driving system to targeted z/OS operating systems.

You can use the SCS component of CA CSM to configure this release of CA Common Services that you have installed and deployed.

Follow these steps:

1. Select a deployed product to configure from the Deployments tab to open the Create Configuration wizard.
2. Create the configuration, which includes completing each step in the Create Configuration wizard:
   1. Define a configuration name and select a target system.
   2. Select configuration functions and options.
   3. Define system preferences.
   4. Create target settings.
   5. Select and edit resources.
3. Build the configuration. The last step of the Create Configuration wizard lets you build the configuration.
4. Implement the configuration. The implementation process in CA CSM is a step-by-step process. This process carefully guides you and provides detailed instructions to start, stop, and manage the steps of the implementation process.

After the configuration process completes, CA Common Services is ready for you to use.

Important! Portions of CA CSM require CA Common Services to be installed. Do not start your newly configured CAIRIM, CAIENF, and address spaces while CA CSM is active on the targeted system.

Note: You cannot use CA CSM to configure a product to a staging system.
