Issue/Introduction

CA Recommended Service (CA RS) are distributed monthly. The releases are designed to be implemented via Chorus Software Manager (CSM). Sites not using CSM may want to know which fixes are included in a specific CA RS. How do you find out which fixes are included in a specific CA RS level?

Resolution

The CA RS levels will include all of the preventative maintenance available for your Top Secret Security Option for DB2 as well as for all of your Broadcom products.

It is possible to get the information about which APARs are included in each CA RS. Follow these steps:

1) Click here

2) Scroll down and click on the CARSmmyy link that you want. This will take you to a page titled ‘CARS mmyy – Product Service Report’. This lists all Broadcom Products (by name and release) that have APARs included on that CA RS.

3) Click on whichever product(s) you are interested in, and that takes you to a PDF with the APAR names included on that CARS level and additional information about the APARs.
