Preparing for Installation › CA Gen Products

CA Gen Products

CA Gen products consist of multiple FMIDs. The following are CA Gen’s FMIDs and the products/components they represent (x varies per release):

• CEG68x0 = Host Encyclopedia (HE)
• CEG78x0 = z/OS Implementation Toolset (IT)
• CEHB8x0 = Base (common) modules
• CETA8x0 = Base modules build as unresolved (NCAL)
• CEHC8x0 = Runtime CICS
• CEHD8x0 = Runtime IMS
• CEG88x0 = TCP/IP Direct Connect for CICS
• CEG98x0 = TCP/IP Direct Connect for IMS
• CEKP8x0 = CICS MQSeries
• CEKZ8x0 = IMS MQSeries

Some FMIDs are grouped and must be installed together while others are standalone. Base modules (EHB and ETA) for instance are grouped with both HE and IT products. The datasets where the product code resides are created when the Base FMID (EHB) is installed with the exception of the Runtime DLLs Library which is created only when a Runtime FMID (EHC or EHD) is installed. MQSeries FMIDs are each included when the corresponding Runtime is installed.

This information is important when using CA CSM Deployment and Configuration, where specified products need to be selected in order for their corresponding datasets to be included in the deployed and in the configured products.
