Use the CA Auditor for z/OS Interface

Use the CA Auditor for z/OS Interface.

Business Value:

The CA Auditor for z/OS Interface provides installation verification and ensures runtime integrity.

Additional Considerations:

CA Auditor for z/OS is an optional product, which requires a separately installed licensed LMP Key. The Product Validation Interface (PVI) of CA Auditor for z/OS provides an installation verification service to ensure that the software products are correctly installed and to verify runtime integrity. PVI audits the z/OS operating system and reports its findings to users, auditors, systems security administrators, and so on. PVI allows direct queries to acquire information about CA Disk, its intercepts, exits, and other attributes of concern to the security and audit community. This capability is possible through the use of the Product Description Module (PDM), which is shipped with CA Disk. Once installed, the PVI uses the information described in the PDM to verify that CA Disk is correctly installed and running properly.

The CAIXXGN1 module is provided if you want to include CA Disk to the products audited. If you will be using the CA Disk CAIXXGN1 module, it must reside in the currently active LPA.
