CAECIS CA EXAMINE Configuration Tasks

The CA Common Inventory Services (CAECIS) program, CAISERVX, is used to gather basic environmental diagnostic and product information. This information can be useful to CA support personnel when responding to a product question or problem. Running this utility produces valuable information about your executing environment. This can help the CA support technician more quickly focus on the specific problem.

Information reported by the CAISERVX program provides a general snapshot of your executing environment, including:

• Operating system release
• Job entry subsystem (JES) information
• System Residence (SYSRES) information
• IPL-related information including:
  • Time/date of system IPL
  • CPU model/serial numbers
  • IPL LOADPARM value
  • Architecture mode
• CAIRIM-related information, including:
  • Products initialized using CAIRIM
  • CAIRIM-installed SMF intercepts
  • CAIRIM-installed subsystem names
• CAIENF started task status
• System Link library (LINKLIST) data sets in use
• Link Pack Area library (LPA) data sets in use
• APF-authorized libraries in use
• Inventory information of installed CA mainframe management solutions
