CA Mainframe Software Manager (CA MSM), a key component of CA’s Mainframe 2.0 strategy, is dramatically simplifying how both novice and expert mainframe staff install and maintain CA products. CA MSM automates and streamlines CA product installation and maintenance and alleviates the complexities associated with JCL and SMP/E.
The CA MSM Product Acquisition Service enables you to easily move product installation packages and maintenance from CA Support Online directly to your mainframe environment and prepare them for installation.
The CA MSM Software Installation Service standardizes CA product installation, which includes a new, streamlined Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) method that allows you to install CA products using standard utilities – without requiring you to reconstitute a tape cartridge. This service also provides standardized SMP/E product installation and maintenance via APARs and PTFs, and simplifies SMP/E processing through an intuitive graphical user interface and an intelligent Installation Wizard.
Additional CA MSM features include a synchronized release stack that undergoes extensive interoperability testing, Health Checks to help optimize product use and Best Practices Guides to help the staff responsible for product installation and management to maintain those products according to well-established best practices.
With a generational shift occurring in mainframe staffing, CA MSM was designed to help make it much easier for the next generation of mainframe professionals to manage this critical platform. In fact, much of CA MSM was coded in Java by CA’s next generation of mainframe developers. Watch the video to meet some of them.
