Welcome to the CA Common Services for z/OS readme. This readme contains issues and other information that is discovered after publication or items of emphasis. For a complete list of the known issues for this release, and details about how the features and enhancements affect you, see the Release Notes. If you skip over a release when upgrading to r14.1, review the Release Notes for each release that occurred between your current release and r14.1.
Use the JCL procedures that come with this release. Do not use any existing JCL procedures that you have from previous releases.
Review the Release Notes for important information about changes to data sets. CA Common Services r14.1 only delivers new levels of the Base and Optional Common Services. Legacy and MFNSM Common Services remain at version 14.0 levels. CCCSxxxx and CNSMxxxx low-level qualifier data sets must remain in place and must continue to be used.
You can install CA Common Services r14.1 into a new SMP environment or you can install CA Common Services r14.1 into the same SMP environment as CA Common Services v14.0. If you are upgrading from an older than v14.0 release of CA Common Services you must install r14.1 into a new SMP environment.
If you install CA Common Services r14.1 into a new SMP environment, your new environment will only contain the CCS Base and Optional components. You can continue to use your older v14.0 SMP environment for CCS Legacy and/or MFNSM components. You may wish to clean up the Base and Optional FMIDs from the older v14.0 SMP environment. To do so you can run sample JCL member CAW0CLN, which can be found in the CCS r14.1 CAW0JCL dataset.
CAIENF r14.1 is designed and documented to be used with CA Datacom/AD v14.0. CAIENF r14.1 sample jobs and procs are constructed to be used with CA Datacom/AD v14.0. CAIENF users that have RECORD(YES) specified should upgrade to CA Datacom/AD v14.0 either at the same time as the CA Common Services r14.1 upgrade, or ahead of time utilizing CAIENF r14.0 PTF RO44982, which allows CAIENF r14.0 to be run with CA Datacom/AD v14.0. When you switch to Datacom/AD v14.0, start CAIENF with a newly initialized CAIENF database. You do not need to migrate any data from the old ENF database.
CAIENF r14.1 is still compatible with CA Datacom/AD v12.0, but we recommend upgrading to CA Datacom/AD v14.0 as soon as possible. If you decide to delay upgrading to CA Datacom/AD v14.0, you must import the CAIENF r14.1 Datacom Plan into the Datacom catalog using the sample AW1IMPRT job from your 14.0 CAW0JCL data set. The CAIENF r14.1 plan has a new name so it can be imported with CAIENF up and running ahead of your CCS r14.1 upgrade.
Sites that use Event Management Calendars or Message Actions also need to upgrade the shared CAIENF MUF to CA Datacom/AD v14.0. Sites can either redefine their Calendars and/or Message actions in an AD v14.0 Event Management newly initialized database, or they can use the CA Datacom/AD database backup and restore utility to migrate the Event Management database from an AD v12 database to an AD v14.0 one.

When implementing CA-ENF/CICS Release 14.1, you must review all CICS JCL to determine if a region runs with a private area copy of the CA ENF/CICS intercept module CAS9Cxx (where xx is the CICS release number 64-67).
A CICS region loads a private area copy of the intercept module if the module resides in either the CICS STEPLIB or a special DD in the CICS JCL called CENFLIB. If you determine that a CICS region is running in such a manner under an older CA Common Services release, modify the JCL to point to the new CA Common Services CAW0LOAD data set at the time when CA Common Services r14.1 is implemented. Failure to do so can lead to unpredictable results.
To ensure proper operation, apply the necessary fixes provided by CA Technologies.

CA Easytrieve Common Reporting Service has been discontinued and replaced with CA Easytrieve r11.6, the full product. This product operates in a CA Common Service-restricted manner if the full product LMP key is not installed. CA Easytrieve Plus Report Generator r11.6 PTFs RO42229, RO42230, and RO42231 must be applied for the common service functionality to work properly. CA Easytrieve r11.6 is packaged in its own pax file now and is not part of the CA Common Services r14.1 pax files. This reduces maintenance for environments that currently have multiple releases of both EZT CCS and full blown EZT since now there is a single EZT instance.
The CA Easytrieve r11.6 installation process builds a separate SMP environment for CA Easytrieve. If CA Common Services r14.1 is being installed into the same SMP environment where CA Common Services v14.0 was installed, clean up the old release of the CA Easytrieve Common Service (r6.4) from this SMP environment. CA Common Services r14.1 supplies a sample job, CAW0EZTD, in the CAI.CAW0JCL dataset that must be used to delete the old release of the Easytrieve Common Service from the CA Common Services r14.0-14.1 SMP environment.
If you are upgrading from a CA Common Services release below v14.0, the CCITCPGW/CCISSLGW procs now default to PORT# 1721. Review the PROTOCOL and NODE control options in the Reference Guide for details about how to override the default PORT# if you want to revert to the previous default PORT# of 7000.
The Installation Guide does not include the following information for CA Master. This information should appear under the Component Installation Requirements. The second edition of the Installation Guide will have this information.
