The following CA Common Services are used with CA MIM:
Note: If other CA products are installed at your site, some of these services may already be installed. For detailed CCS FMID requirements, see CCS for z/OS Component Requirements.
Provides CA enterprise applications with a common communications software layer that insulates the applications from dealing with protocol specifics, error recovery, and system connection establishment.
Prepares your operating system environment for all CA applications and starts them. The common driver for a collection of dynamic initialization routines eliminates the need for user SVCs, SMF exits, subsystems, and other installation requirements commonly encountered when installing systems applications.
Integral parts of CAIRIM are CAISSF, CA LMP, and CA zIIP Enablement Services.
Note: These modules must reside in LINKLIST or as part of the CA MIM STEPLIB concatenation.
Provides an external security mechanism for controlling and monitoring access to all system and application resource processes. CAISSF is integrated into many CA enterprise applications and is also used by other CCS for z/OS services. CAISSF provides security services for user logon, resource access control, process use control, and recording and monitoring of violation activity.
Provides a standardized and automated approach to the tracking of licensed software and is provided as an integral part of CAIRIM. After CAIRIM is installed, you have access to Technical Support for all CA LMP-supported products.
Provides a common service for CA products to allow their code to run on zIIP processors, if available.
CA MIM uses the CCS module LXCFMAIN when using the XCF communication option. The LXCFMAIN module acts as an interface to the IBM XCF services. The LXCFMAIN module is delivered on the CCS product tape.
Note: This module must reside in LINKLIST or as part of the CA MIM STEPLIB concatenation.
Provides a set of services that opens CA Service Desk requests from the z/OS environment. The requests can be opened directly by CA products or they can be opened on their behalf, depending on the requirements of each specific product using the interface.
CAISDI comprises the following components:
The z/OS Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) client communicates with CA Service Desk. It manages the communication using TCP/IP to CA Service Desk. It also provides the basic mechanisms that allow CA products to open CA Service Desk tickets. This component is required for all CA Service Desk integration.
The Event Library Support (ELS) component provides a mechanism for CA products to open CA Service Desk tickets for events they detect directly. Supported events are defined in an event library that contains the customizable text and symbolic parameters to be used in the CA Service Desk request. The BrightStor z/OS product family requires installation of this component.
The Mainframe Event Director (MED) component monitors the z/OS environment and opens CA Service Desk tickets on behalf of CA products and/or other system components. This provides a way to open CA Service Desk tickets when the CA product is unable to do so, such as the case of an abend. It also opens solicited tickets for the CA products that use this interface component.
Provides
a powerful productivity language for both business and information processing professionals containing easy-to-use information retrieval, sophisticated report writing, and comprehensive application development capabilities. The Easytrieve Service is a limited version of the full-featured CA Easytrieve product, which lets you modify the contents of an Easytrieve application that is provided with another CA product. If you have CA Easytrieve product already installed at your site, you do not need to install the Easytrieve Service from CCS.
CA L‑Serv provides standard services that various products of CA Technologies use. These products include:
These services include centralized logging and messaging facilities, VSAM file management, cross‑system communications, and SQL table management.
Note: If you use the ICMF communication method for CA MIC, then CA L‑Serv must be available on each system you want to communicate with. CA L‑Serv communicates between systems using VTAM cross-domains.
Provides a simple and consistent method for CA products to create health checks to run under the IBM Health Checker for z/OS. The IBM Health Checker for z/OS helps you identify potential problems in your z/OS environment by checking system or product parameters and system status against recommended settings. CA has joined other vendors in creating checks for CA z/OS products. CA MIM health checks are automatically activated on the target system when the product is started on a system where the following components are installed and configured:
