We keep a scoreboard of products and their adherence to the various MSM functions here: http://www.ca.com/us/products/collateral.aspx?cid=205030 >Furthermore, CA-11 makes certain assumptions.

When a product joins the CA MSM family of supportable products and does not behave properly under CA MSM, you should should open an issue with us (or, in the future, the appropriate software vendor). >We will eventually go to MSM, but, I sure would like to know if all CA >products are using the same disciplines? If not, why not? By May 2011, _almost all_ of the entire portfolio will be manageable through MSM. Some products are functionally stabilized (may never be MSM installable, but may become MSM maintainable, deployable, configurable) and others are a much larger work to complete. If you are interested in a product that is not currently supported, please drop me a note at scott (dot) fagen (at) ca (dot) com.
