4.11 Integration with CA Examine Auditing

CA Examine Auditing is a comprehensive software package that
can perform an automated technical review of the system,
hardware and software environment and identify integrity
exposures. A real-time view of the computer system is
provided without affecting system performance. It is solely
an inspection tool and does not permit users to change the
system in any way.

One of the features of CA Examine is the ability to locate
specific products in program libraries or SMP/E CSIs.  This
feature makes it useful as a software inventory tool.

CA MICS integrates with CA Examine Auditing by providing a
Program Definition Module (PDM) that identifies CA MICS to CA
Examine Auditing.

The following checklist can be used to copy the CA MICS PDM
to the CA Common Services for z/OS library.

   1.) Edit sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEFC) and add/modify
       the CAILIB keyword to the name of the CA Common
       Services for z/OS library

   2.) Edit sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLGENUC) so that it
       contains the following:

        PDMCOPY

       Submit the job in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(JCLGENUC).
       Ensure that there are no error messages in MICSLOG or
       SYSTSPRT, that the MICSLOG contains the normal
       termination message, BAS10999I, and that the job
       completes with a condition code of zero.

   3.) Execute sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(PDMCOPY) to copy the CA
       MICS PDM module into the CA Common Services for z/OS
       library.

       Note: installation security may restrict write
             access to CA Common services library.
