Implementing CIA Real-Time for CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management › Unload the Security Information

Unload the Security Information

The CIAUNLD job executes the unload utility, which reads the security information from the security database and creates an unload data set. The unload data set contains load data in DB2 format which is used to populate the CIA repository.

All CIA repositories (DB2 and CA Datacom/AD) use the same unload process. The process for loading the security data into the CIA repository differs slightly, depending on whether you are using DB2 or CA Datacom/AD for the CIA repository.

The information from the security database must be unloaded into a target data set (UNLOAD). The UNLOAD data set must be defined and allocated before it can be used.

The following tasks unload the security information from the security database:

• Verify authorization to run the TSSFAR utility (CA Top Secret only)
• Run TSSFAR utility (CA Top Secret only)
• Run the CIACFILE job (CA Top Secret only)
• Verify authorization to run the CIA Unload utility
• Implement user-defined fields
• Run the CIA Unload utility
• Check the output from the UNLOAD utility

To replicate the most current information in the CIA repository, these tasks should be performed in the order specified each time you incorporate changes made to the security file.

Run TSSFAR Utility (CA Top Secret Only)

TSSFAR can be used to validate the security file for CIA.

Follow these steps:

1. From your current release of CA Top Secret, run the TSSFAR utility with the SFSTATS option against your existing backup security file. A file analysis report is generated.
2. Use the file analysis report to verify that all the security data can be successfully unloaded to the unload utility UNLOAD file.

Important! Running TSSFAR against the security file can cause degradation to system performance. We recommend that TSSFAR always runs against a backup file.
