Starting Your Product › Introduction

Introduction

This section covers two stages before starting your product.

From the base installation system, one sometimes must deploy the product to the target system. This process basically involves copying the SMP/E target libraries to the deployment system. This method provides an execution environment for the product, but individual product configuration is not achieved.

Configuration involves applying the unique parameters, features, and modifications to the product for that system or in the case of CA WA CA 7 Edition, an instance (for example, CA71, CA72).

See the CAL2OPTN member AL2$$IDX for the index of the CA WA CA 7 Edition members in the libraries CAL2OPTN and CAL2JCL. CAL2OPTN member AL2$UPDT contains information about upgrading to this release. CAL2OPTN member AL2$BKOT contains instructions and information about falling back from Version 12.0 to your previous release.

Use your Master Preparation Checklist as you work through the deployment and configuration sections of this chapter.
