The CA Mainframe VM Product Manager is a set of tools for installing, servicing, and deploying CA Mainframe VM products. It is integrated with the familiar IBM VMSES/E facility to simplify managing your CA VM products by using the same methods you use to manage your VM system itself. A common product database, defined in a simple CMS NAMES file, collects deployment definitions and runtime controls you specify. These definitions are referenced both when CA VM products initialize, and continually during their execution to monitor and control your system management server products. This section provides an overview of the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager capabilities.
