Product Overview

The architecture of CA Chorus Software Manager comprised several key components. The Software Manager Server acted as the central point for managing software installations and updates. The Deployment Engine was responsible for executing the installation tasks on the target z/OS systems.

The GUI client provided a user-friendly interface for administrators to interact with the system. Communication between these components occurred over TCP/IP. The product is not supported, and users should explore alternative solutions.

Compared to IBM Installation Manager, CA Chorus Software Manager offered a more integrated experience for CA products. Consider Broadcom Mainframe Software Manager as a replacement.
