How to Configure a Product

The Software Configuration Service (SCS) facilitates the mainframe product configuration from the software inventory of the driving system to targeted z/OS operating systems.

You can use the SCS component of CA MSM to configure a CA Technologies product that you have already acquired, installed, and deployed.

Follow these steps:

1. Select a deployed product to configure from the Deployments tab to open the Create Configuration wizard.
2. Create the configuration, which includes completing each step in the Create Configuration wizard, including the following:
   1. Define a configuration name and select a target system.
   2. Select configuration functions and options.
   3. Define system preferences.
   4. Create target settings.
   5. Select and edit resources.
3. Build the configuration. The last step of the Create Configuration wizard lets you build the configuration.
4. Implement the configuration. The implementation process in CA MSM is a step-by-step process that carefully guides you and provides detailed instructions to start, stop, and manage the steps of the implementation process.

After the configuration process completes, the product is ready for you to use. You may have to perform other steps manually outside of CA MSM.

Note: You cannot use CA MSM to configure a product to a staging system.
