    Hello CA IDMS Community!


    The CA IDMS Product team is pleased to announce that you can now configure CA IDMS via z/OSMF Workflows when performing a base, upgrade, or add-on installation!


    CA IDMS z/OSMF Workflows

    • Automate the deployment and configuration of a product instance
    • Assist system programmers with minimum mainframe experience to perform tasks
    • Significantly reduce the time that is required to perform tasks


    The workflow configuration of a CA IDMS environment follows the same post installation process, z/OSMF provides:

    • Flexibility of a menu-driven GUI to input the required variables
    • Variables are populated into the job stream
    • Job streams can be modified prior to submission and can be executed again if the job fails


    Workflows are provided to:
