Step 5. Discard the Product Materials from the Older Release

When you have no further use for the the previous release of CA VM:Backup, follow the steps in this section to discard the previous release and free the disk space that it occupied.

Each release of a product is installed and maintained on minidisks or SFS directories owned by a unique user ID. For this release, that ID is ZVMB036A. Using your Directory Manager product or procedures, simply remove the product specific user ID which was used by the older release. Use the VMSERVER command to ensure that no entry in the VMSERVER NAMES file still references the old product materials ID.

Step 6. Make the Product Available

After you upgrade and test the product, make it available to your users. For more information, see the "Releasing Products to Users" section in the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager Reference Guide.
