Use a Common CA High Level Qualifier Symbolic

When installing more than one of CA’s Mainframe Enterprise Report Management (ERM) Release 12.2 products, we recommend that you install using one common high-level qualifier for the ‘**CAI**’ symbolic that is shared by all of the products.

Business Value:

By installing and maintaining a single version of a CA common high-level qualifier, you reduce your maintenance effort, save disk space, and eliminate the possibility of executing symbolic utilities that may not be up-to-date with the latest maintenance.

Additional Considerations:

In particular, it is a best practice to install CA Deliver Release 12.2 and CA View Release 12.2 into the same SMP/E CSI data set and SMP/E zones.

CA View and CA Deliver both require the EBC Common Component. Having both products in the same SMP/E environment is the best way to enforce cross-product dependencies and to insure that both products are at current maintenance levels.

Note:

If you want to upgrade to CA Deliver Release 12.2 in a shared SMP/CSI that contains a different version or release of CA Deliver and CA View, you can do one of the following options:
