This section describes the new features introduced with r11.7.
You can use CA Mainframe Software Manager (CA MSM) to install CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP. CA MSM is an application that simplifies and unifies the management of CA mainframe products on z/OS systems. As products adopt the services provided by CA MSM, you can acquire, install, and maintain them in a common way.
CA MSM provides a Product Acquisition Service and Software Installation Services that make it easier for you to acquire and install products, and obtain and apply corrective and recommended maintenance. These services enable you to manage your software easily based on industry accepted best practices. A web-based interface makes the look and feel of the environment friendly and familiar, enabling you to install and maintain your products faster and with less chance of error.
You can acquire CA MSM using Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) from CA Support Online.
Note: For more information, see your product's installation instructions and the CA Mainframe Software Manager Product Guide.
