Common Information Model is a z/OS Base element. Common Information Model (CIM) is a standard data model for describing and accessing systems management data in heterogeneous environments. It allows system administrators to write applications that measure system resources in a network with different operating systems and hardware.

To enable z/OS for cross platform management, a subset of resources and metrics of a z/OS system are mapped into the CIM standard data model. CIM is new in z/OS V1R7 and z/OS.e V1R7. For encryption, CIM uses the DES 56-bit algorithm and, if z/OS Security Level 3 is installed, the TDES 168-bit algorithm.

Managed System Infrastructure for Setup is a z/OS Base element. Managed System Infrastructure for Setup (msys for Setup) offers a new approach for installing and configuring z/OS and products that run on z/OS. The configuration process is driven by a graphical user interface (plug-ins) that greatly facilitates the definition of customization parameters. The defined configuration is automatically applied to the system.

In z/OS V1R8, six of the seven plugins are removed from the Managed System Infrastructure for Setup (msys for Setup) element. The six plug-ins removed are:

IP Services ISPF

Language Environment

Parallel Sysplex

RMF

z/OS

UNIX

The only remaining plug-in, the DB2 V8 plug-in, is unaffected and remains available for enablement, setup, and configuration of DB2. Also remaining are the framework and DFSMS support.
