How Product Implementation Works

Typically, product implementation consists of the following stages:

1. Prepare for the installation by confirming that your site meets all installation requirements.
2. Install the product:
   1. Transfer the software to your system.
   2. Install the software.

   Installation uses the following processes:

   • A process that installs the software in a z/OS SMP/E environment

     Important! You can install these software components using either CA MSM or the Install Utility supplied by the product. If you use CA MSM, you continue with setup (or configuration) using the Install Utility.

   • An RPM process that installs the Linux agent software on a Linux system
3. Set up the product:
   • Set up a region for a z/OS system where the client products run.
   • Set up a z/VM agent to connect to the z/OS region.
   • Set up a Linux agent port to which the z/OS region connects.
   • Configure the syslog daemon on each Linux system to connect to the z/OS region.
4. Deploy the product components:
   • The z/OS region to the target z/OS system.
   • The z/VM agent to the target z/VM systems.
   • The Linux agent to the target Linux systems.
5. Set up user security.
6. Start the z/OS region, z/VM agents, and Linux agents.
