CA-L-Serv Benefits

CA-L-Serv is a master started task that provides standard services used by many CA products.

CA-L-Serv can simplify VSAM file sharing for different combinations of CA TPX on one or more z/OS systems. CA-L-Serv can:

Provide easier cross-system VSAM file sharing among multiple copies of CA TPX operating on different systems.
Improve file security by establishing CA-L-Serv as the only user that can access the VSAM files.
Provide a log containing the key of each VSAM record that has been updated through CA-L-Serv.
Provide less disruptive backup and restore operations by allowing maintenance on individual VSAM files without taking down CA TPX.
