Preparing for Installation › CA Common Services Requirements

CA Common Services Requirements

Your system must have a currently supported version of CA Common Services for z/OS. The CA Common Services load libraries must be accessible to the product address space and the SOLVE SSI address space through the JCL STEPLIB or system LNKLST.

Note: The latest version of CA Common Services for z/OS is included in your package.

The following CA Common Services are used with CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP:

CA LMP of the CAIRIM Common Service

Authorizes your product features. CA LMP provides a standardized and automated approach to the tracking of licensed software. The service uses common real-time enforcement software to validate the configuration. CA LMP reports on activities related to the license, usage, and financials of CA Technologies products.

CAICCI Common Service

Provides cross-system communication. This service is required, for example, for communication with Unicenter Service Desk.

CAISDI/soap

Is the z/OS Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) client that communicates with Unicenter Service Desk. The component manages the communication using TCP/IP to Unicenter Service Desk and provides the basic mechanisms that allow CA Technologies products to open Unicenter Service Desk tickets. This component is required for all Unicenter Service Desk integration.

Note: If other CA Technologies products are installed at your site, some of these services are already installed.
