Installing Your Products Using CA CSM

As a system programmer, your responsibilities include acquiring, installing, maintaining, deploying, and configuring CA Technologies mainframe products on your system.

CA CSM is an application that simplifies and unifies the management of your CA Technologies mainframe products on z/OS systems. As products adopt the CA CSM services, you can install your products in a common way according to industry best practices.

If you do not have CA CSM installed, download it from the Download Center at http://ca.com/support. This web page also contains links to the complete documentation for CA CSM. For additional information about how to use CA CSM, use the online help.

This section provides an overview to complete the following tasks. Use this content with the CA CSM online help to complete each one.

After you complete deployment using the Software Deployment Service, go to How to Configure CSS with CA CSM.

Important! With CA CSM Version 6.0, you can now use the Software Configuration Service (SCS) without the requirement to have first used the Software Deployment Service (SDS); however, CCS does not support this feature. Therefore, if you plan to use SCS for your CCS configuration, you must deploy first using SDS.
