CAISERV Utility

The CAISERV diagnostic facility produces a problem report for you to fill out and send in with all problem documentation.

CAISERV also produces a short report on the CA products that you have installed. You should send this information to help Technical Support solve your problem.

To invoke CAISERV, execute the CAISERV proc in your sample JCL library:

 //        EXEC CAISERV,CAILOAD='CAI.CAZ2LOAD',
 //        CAILPA='CAI.CAZ2LPA',
 //        CAICICS='NULLFILE',
 //        SYSOUT=A
 //

Edit the JCL to your installation's standards, and submit the job.

This job will produce a report similar to the following to SYSPRINT:

Fill in the form completely. This information will be logged into the CA Technical Support system and will be tracked from the time it is reported to the time it is closed.

On the next page of the problem report, describe the problem you are experiencing. The headings on this page look like this:

The last page of the problem report provides a status of the CA Technologies products that you have installed. In most instances, this report includes the product version number, genlevel, and installation options. This is a sample of a report for CA TLMS:
