Multilayered Architecture

CA Common Services for z/OS is composed of a software services layer and a management services layer. The software services layer includes a suite of industry standard integration and distributed processing services to unify software applications. The management services layer provides a web-based, real-world graphical interface and monitoring of application and system events.

Each service component has been assigned to one of the following packaging bundles:

• Base
• Optional
• Legacy
• MFNSM (Mainframe CA NSM )

All the components found in the Base Common Services bundle must be installed. The components found in the other three bundles may be required based on your site’s needs and are therefore considered optional for the CA Common Services Installation.

The following are the components of each of the packaging bundles.
