Install CA Datacom/AD

CA WA CA 7 Edition Version 12.0 requires CA Datacom/AD Version 14.0 or higher.

The optimal configuration dedicates a CA Datacom/AD MUF (Multi-User Facility) to CA WA CA 7 Edition Version 12.0. Because some products like CA CSM or CAIENF are intensive consumers of MUF services, they should not share the MUF with CA WA CA 7 Edition.

CA Datacom/AD comes with its own installation guides.

Note: For more information, see the CA Datacom/AD Version 14.0.0 Installation Guide for z/OS.

Update CA Datacom/AD

If you have CA Datacom/AD installed, ensure the following PTFs are applied to the system that CA WA CA 7 Edition uses:

Use the CA Support Online site to download these PTFs from the CA Datacom/AD pages. Ensure that your maintenance is as current as possible for CA Datacom/AD.

More configuration of CA Datacom/AD is required after the SMP/E install of CA WA CA 7 Edition. This configuration is discussed in How to Configure CA Datacom/AD for Use with CA WA CA 7 Edition.

The backup and recovery procedures have changed in this version of CA WA CA 7 Edition. As you prepare CA Datacom/AD for use with CA WA CA 7 Edition, review the discussion of backup and recovery in the Systems Programming Guide. Use the sample JCL in that discussion as a guide to creating the backup and recovery jobs you can use at your site.
