CA Mainframe Manager is a totally new "from the ground up" solution designed to help experienced and new folks coming to the platform for acquiring, installing, maintaining, and ultimately deploying and configuring mainframe software. It is included with Common Services, so no new costs for the customer. The MSM UI is a very inutitive task oriented solution that simplifies the entire process and therefore saves time. You should ask your account team for a presentation and demo. Or better yet, try it on your own sandbox. It runs completely on z/OS, so need for additional servers.

I think they even mentioned that it was totally new in their presentation on it. CA-MSM (Mainframe Software Manager?) is probably much more like the SERVERPAC dialogs with integrated SHOPZ capability. I haven't heard anything bad about it yet but I haven't tried it yet either. -----Original Message----- Mark H. Young Thank you all for the CA-Activator (Aggrivator) responses. I'm wondering if Activator was the basis for CA-Mainframe 2.0 ?? Just heard about CA-Mainframe 2.0 from my boss, so I know nothing at this point so far.
