This section contains helpful information for the CA Mainframe Connector. Review each best practice before you install the CA Mainframe Connector.

Business Value

Implementing these best practices can ease the installation process and can ensure the proper and efficient CA Mainframe Connector operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Installation

Use CA CSM to acquire, install, and maintain your product.

Business Value:

CA CSM provides a web interface, which works with ESD and standardized installation, to provide a common way to manage CA mainframe products. You can use it to download and install CA Mainframe Connector.

CA CSM lets you download product and maintenance releases over the Internet directly to your system from the CA Support website. After you use CA CSM to download your product or maintenance, you use the same interface to install the downloaded software packages using SMP/E.

Additional Considerations:

After you install the product, use the product's Install Utility to set it up. CA CSM can continue to help you maintain your product.

Note: If there is maintenance for VSAM data sets, you must use the Install Utility to update those data sets for each region you have set up.

More Information:

For more information about CA CSM, see the CA Chorus Software Manager online help. For more information about product setup, see the Installation Guide.
