Installation Considerations

Before you begin the installation, you must prepare your system, assemble your materials, and then follow the installation steps exactly and in order. Use this list as a guide for the installation process.

1. Be certain that CA Common Services are installed on your system, and that the required hardware, software, and libraries are prepared.

   CA Deliver uses the CAI Resource Initialization Manager CAIRIM portion of the CA Common Services. CAIRIM prepares the operating system for CA products and components, and then executes them.

   CA DRAS requires the CAIENF (Event Notification Facility) and the CAICCI (Common Communications Interface) components of the CA Common Services.

   Note: For more information about system requirements, see the chapter "System Requirements".

2. Install CA Deliver using one of these methods:
   • CA MSM
   • PAX Enhanced ESD
   • Product Tape installation
3. Use options and initialization parameters to customize CA Deliver according to the needs of your site, as follows:
   • Configure your CA Deliver system.
   • Install the online interfaces including the cross-memory and online retrieval options for ISPF, TSO, VTAM, CA Roscoe Interactive Environment (CA Roscoe), CICS and IMS.
   • Install the features
