CA Common Services for OpenVMS on Windows

CCS for OpenVMS on Windows is a generic integration layer that extends the capabilities of CCS Manager and CA NSM to manage an OpenVMS infrastructure. By integrating OpenVMS into your CA NSM enterprise management infrastructure, you can truly benefit from an end-to-end eBusiness enterprise management solution.

CCS for OpenVMS on Windows provides the following benefits:

• Integration into CA NSM MCC - When you start the CCS for OpenVMS components on OpenVMS using the CCS for OpenVMS common startup, they inform CCS for OpenVMS on Windows what components are currently installed and running. The components currently running on the given OpenVMS node populate the Common Object Repository. Right-clicking on any populated icon lets you launch the Management Console of the underlying product. The seamless integration into CA NSM MCC gives you the power and knowledge to manage your enterprise.

Note: To launch a Management Console this way, you need X Windows software, such as eXcursion.

• Integration into Event Management - Event Management is the cornerstone of an eBusiness enterprise management solution. It lets you consolidate critical and informational messages from disparate sources across the enterprise and perform correlation, filtering, and automated actions.

  • CA Console Management for OpenVMS
  • CA System Watchdog for OpenVMS
