SMP/E in a version and release as supported by IBM is required to install and maintain CA Datacom in the z/OS environment. It is the program installation standard methodology for all CA z/OS products and helps ensure the stability and integrity of the execution libraries.
SMP/E controls and simplifies the installation and maintenance of z/OS products and provides a log of all installation and maintenance activities.
SMP/E performs three major operations, RECEIVE, APPLY, and ACCEPT, when installing a product or performing maintenance. These operations manage the Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI) structure contained in a VSAM KSDS data set.
In addition to the CSI, the SMP/E environment contains two libraries. Target libraries contain the executable system modules used at system runtime. Distribution libraries contain the backup modules used for maintenance operations.
