Consolidated the CAISDI/els and CAISDI/med Interfaces and Added Functionality

This release adds an application to enhance existing CAISDI/els (Event Library Support) and CAISDI/med (MVS Event Director) interfaces. The CAISDI/els and CAISDI/med functions are now combined into one application (CAISDI/elmds), which runs in a permanent address space.

The CAISDI/elmds adds the following functionality for the CA products that use CAISDI/els and CAISDI/med:

• CA products can now potentially “update” and “close” a ticket.
• CA products can potentially provide more detail in identifying the component that created a ticket.
• CAISDI/elmds can be initialized when the CAISDI/soap Server or Service Desk is not available.
• Tracing and messaging are consolidated to a single SYSOUT which can be spun to aid in diagnostics.
• New messages replace the CAISDI/els and CAISDI/med messages, which were presented as WTO messages. A message file is delivered where individual messages can be designated to be written as a WTO message. You can turn off the existing WTO messages.
• Reduced CSA (Common Storage Area) usage for the CAISDI/els support.
