Introduction

Welcome to the CA Deliver output management report distribution and tracking system for the IBM and MVS z/OS operating systems.

A report can be any of the following:

• A continuous stream of SYSOUT data that is distributed as a unit
• One or more adjoining pages (called segments) of SYSOUT data grouped together

  The combination of two or more segments from a single SYSOUT

A series of panels lets you display, change, distribute, and track information in the database according to the attribute categories that you specify.

CA Deliver automates your daily report distribution functions. You can use the product to do the following tasks:

• Separate SYSOUT (system output) into individual reports
• Generate banner pages that list the recipients of the reports
• Bundle reports according to individuals and groups
• Maintain historical data on the bundles and reports
• Define basic reports
• Define stacked reports containing either exclusive or overlapping segments
• Define reports created from interleaved records
• Define reports containing control breaks
• Create a bundle of reports
• Manually delete non-bundled and bundled bad reports, and rerun jobs that ended abnormally
• Obtain data and detailed historical data about the reports and bundles
• Identify the ways you can archive and reprint these reports with CA View Output Archival and Viewing (CA View )
