2. PSP LIBRARY REFRESH AND CHECKLISTS

When you refresh your PSP libraries, the refresh process
analyzes your CA MICS complex, alerts you to unapplied
maintenance that is now available, automatically allocates
PSP data sets, and loads only product changes that your
complex needs.

The PSP is available through a distribution tape or through
Electronic Software Delivery (ESD PAX). The tape is delivered
upon your request.  ESD PAX uses a PAX file and writes the
distribution files to disk at your site without using a tape.

To utilize ESD PAX, you must be registered for technical
support at our Support Online website http://ca.com/support.
Contact your account representative or Technical Support for
details on registering and downloading products from our
website.  Once you are registered, you can access the ESD PAX
files for your authorized products.

Detailed ESD PAX instructions are in Download Help. To find
them go to the CA website, log on to Technical Support, go to
Download Center and locate Download Help in the right pane.
Select "Pax Enhanced Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)
Guide".

Those instruction will help you copy the CA MICS ESD PAX file
to your mainframe and unzip it.

Once you have a tape or have unzipped the ESD PAX equivalent,
go to Section 2.1 of this guide to begin the PSP refresh
process.
