Common Administration for Service Management (CASM)

The Common Administration for Service Management (CASM) provides administrative functionality, such as multi-tenancy administration, to CA APM. Multi-tenancy is the ability for multiple independent tenants (and their users) to share a single implementation of CA APM.

• For the standard installation, CASM is installed automatically on the application server without user input.
• For the custom installation, you provide input to install CASM on any server (for example, the web or application server).

Note: For more information about implementing multi-tenancy, see How to Implement Multi-Tenancy.
