Deploy the Product to the Destination System

Deployment is a process of copying SMP/E target libraries to a destination system. The destination system could be the local z/OS system, a remote z/OS system, or a sysplex. You identify the destination system, deployed data set names, and the transport mechanism as part of the deployment process. Deploying a product makes it available for configuration.

Important! Before you deploy a product, set up the destination systems and remote credentials in the system registry.

You perform the following high-level tasks to deploy your products using CA CSM:

1. On the Deployments tab, set up methodologies.

   Note: You can also set up methodologies when creating a deployment, or use existing methodologies, if you have set up any previously. If you do so, you can skip this step.

2. Start the New Deployment wizard to create a deployment. Complete each of the steps in the wizard. The wizard guides you through choosing deployment settings for your site. At any point, you can save your work and come back to it later.
3. Deploy:
   1. Take a snapshot of the deployment.
   2. Transmit the deployment to a destination system.
   3. Deploy (unpack) to the mainframe environment.

   CA CSM deploys the product to the destination system.

After the deployment process completes, the product is ready for you to configure.
