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 WebCenter and the SOLVE Subsystem Interface (SSI) address spaces through the JCL STEPLIB or system linklist.

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

The following CA Common Services are used with WebCenter:

CA Health Checker

Provides CA Technologies applications with a framework for invoking IBM Health Checker routines in a consistent and easy to implement manner. The health checks of CA Technologies products execute under IBM Health Checker for z/OS. To register the checks successfully, IBM Health Checker must be active.

Note: For more information about the IBM Health Checker, including setup and configuration tasks, see the IBM Health Checker for z/OS User's Guide.

CAICCI

Provides CA Technologies enterprise applications with a common communications software layer. This service is required, for example, when forwarding alerts to CA Service Desk.

CAISDI/soap

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

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