What is the difference between the CA Allocate and the Vantage Allocation Option?

 

 

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

In the beginning, CA Allocate was sold as a component of CA Vantage. 

CA Vantage and CA Allocate have been separated years ago, they are separate products today. 

As a remainder, there are still clients licensed for the Vantage Allocation Option, which means that they are licensed to use CA Allocate. 

CA Vantage and CA Allocate should be installed via SMP/E into their own CSI's.  Consequently, the CA Allocate PARMLIB's VKGPARMS needs to contain only the Allocate parameters described in the Allocate User's Guide, and the VKGPARMS member in the Vantage PARMLIB needs to contain only the Vantage parameters documented in the Vantage Configuration guide.
