Install and Configure CAGMI

In order to use CAGMI you must install and configure both the z/OS component and at least one of the User-Interface (PC) Client components (you can use the Windows Client, the Web Client, or both).

Note: If you have already installed CAGMI components for one of the other CAGMI enabled products, there is no need to install the components again, however you must perform step 4 in the following procedure for the CAGMI qualified product. If you are installing the components for the first time, ensure that you have received the proper installation materials for the z/OS and the User-Interface (PC) Client components. If you do not have all the installation materials you need, then contact CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

To install and configure both components of CAGMI

Note: System software and hardware requirements for both components of CAGMI can be found in the CA Vantage GMI Installation Guide.

  1. Install the z/OS server as described in the CA Vantage GMI Installation Guide.

    The z/OS server is installed on your z/OS system.

  2. Install the Windows Client as described in the CA Vantage GMI Installation Guide.

    The Windows Client is installed on at least one PC.

    Note: When you install the Windows Client, you also install the CA Vantage GMI Config Client which you can use to set CA Vantage GMI system parameters. If you want to use the Web Client, we suggest you install it after you have completed step 8. However, you can install the Web Client after you have completed step 3 and to be able to use it to work with CAGMI enabled product objects you must complete step 4 for each CAGMI enabled product. For more information about installing, navigating, and using the Web Client, see the CA Vantage GMI Web Client Guide.

  3. Configure the parts of the z/OS server that are common to all CAGMI enabled products as described in the chapter “Configuring CAGMI” in the CA Vantage GMI Configuration Guide.

    Common CAGMI parts of the z/OS server are configured on your z/OS system.

  4. Configure the parts of the z/OS server that are specific to your CAGMI enabled product according to the chapter “z/OS Host Configuration" in this guide.

    Your CAGMI enabled product objects are defined for retrieving your CAGMI enabled product object data by the CAGMI user-interface.

    Note: If you want to use the Web Client you can install it now or after you complete step 8. For more information about installation, starting, navigation, and using the Web Client, see the CA Vantage GMI Web Client Guide.

  5. Start the Windows Client according to the section Start and Log in to the Windows Client.

    The Windows Client is up and running on your PC.

    At least one z/OS host is defined in your Host List.

  7. Connect the Windows Client to a z/O host and login as described in the section Connect and Log In to the z/OS Host.

    The Windows Client is connected and logged in to a z/OS host. You can start using it to view and work with object data.

  8. Define the Windows Client data collection mode as described in the section Define the Data Collection.

    Object data is automatically displayed in the object view when you open an object.
