Bill,
Thanks for starting this thread.
Hello to everyone in the Mainframe Storage Community! I’ve been with CA for many years, but new to the Storage team as of this summer. As the Information Architect for Mainframe Storage, I’m in charge of the technical documentation and making sure all the information we have gets to you, our users, efficiently as possible. Making our documentation publicly available is the first step, and we have more exciting changes in store for the next year. As of today, the following documentation sets are available without having to log in to CA Support Online:
• CA Vantage SRM
• CA 1 Tape Management (the Programming Guide remains confidential)
• CA Vtape Virtual Tape System
• CA TLMS Tape Management
• CA Copycat Utility
• CA HyperBUF VSAM Buffer Optimizer
• CA FAVER VSAM Data Protection
• CA Tape Encryption
• CA CREWS Catalog Recovery
We are working to make CA Disk Backup and Restore and CA Allocate DASD Space and Placement available soon.
Search Tip: When using your search engine, type in the full product name and then “bookshelf” on the end. For example,
CA 1 Tape Management bookshelf. As the search engine crawlers pick up the searches, the bookshelf files will work their way to the top of search results, even when not using
bookshelf. However, adding
bookshelf to your search guarantees you’ll always find the latest product bookshelf.
If you would like to see where we are heading, check out the
CA Answer Bar! The CA Answer Bar breaks down information silos that, in the past, were difficult to navigate. It gives you a streamlined, user-friendly interface where you can find all product-related information, not just technical documentation.
If you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions for how we can improve your searches for information on our CA websites, please let me know!
