Use Electronic Software Delivery

Although CA MSM is the preferred method for installing your CA Technologies mainframe products, some sites may decide to use the Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) method instead. For sites who have decided to use ESD, download the installation files from ca.com/support and install directly from your disk.

Business Value:

Using electronic software delivery (ESD) avoids ordering, shipping, and processing physical tape media to install CA Mainframe Application Tuner. It is more timely, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. It uses standard z/OS utilities to prepare the product installation image on your system.

More Information:

For information about how to download your CA Technologies products from the CA Support Online web site for installation using the enhanced ESD pax process, see the CA Mainframe Application Tuner Installation Guide.
