CA Easytrieve Report Generator Packaged With CA Common Services

With CA Common Services for z/OS (CCS) Release 14.1, CA Easytrieve Report Generator is packaged with CCS as a separate product with a separate installation process. This repackaging eliminates the need for multiple CA Easytrieve Report Generator installations and the complexities of managing and maintaining those installations.

The CA Easytrieve Common Reporting Service has been discontinued and replaced with CA Easytrieve Release 11.6, the full product. If the full product LMP key is not installed, this product operates in a CCS-restricted manner. CA Easytrieve Plus Report Generator Release 11.6 PTFs RO42229, RO42230, and RO42231 must be applied for the common service functionality to work. If you have an active CA Easytrieve Report Generator Release 11.6 license, you do not need to install the copy that is packaged with CCS. All product functionality is available. If you do not have an active license and you are running a CA product that requires CA Easytrieve Report Generator, install the copy that is packaged with CCS. The product functionality is restricted to running CA Easytrieve Report Generator reporting jobs that are distributed with other CA products.

The CA Easytrieve Release 11.6 installation process builds a separate SMP environment for CA Easytrieve. If Release14.1 is installed into the same SMP environment where Version 14.0 was installed, the installation process also cleans up the old release of the CA Easytrieve Common Service (Release 6.4) from this SMP environment. Release 14.1 supplies a sample job, CAW0EZTD, in the CAI.CAW0JCL dataset. To delete the old release of the Easytrieve Common Service from the Version 14.0 and Release 14.1 SMP environment, use this dataset.

If the JCL that you use to run the CA Easytrieve Common Service jobs contains a DD statement for a macro library, which is usually with the DDNname of PANDD, the DSN of that macro library must correspond to the DSN of the executable library that is used for that job. The macro library and the executable library must be from the same installation of CA Easytrieve Report Generator.

Note: For more information about installation, see the CA Easytrieve Report Generator 11.6 Installation Guide. Follow installation instructions provided in Appendix B: Installing CA Easytrieve Report Generator When Packaged With CA Common Services.
