Place the CAISSF Routines in the Common Service Area (CSA)

If desired, the CAISSF routines (CAS9SEC) and the security translator (CAS9SAFC for RACF, CAS9TS42 for CA Top Secret) may be optionally placed in CSA.

Note: CA ACF2, by installation default, requires its translator, CAS9ACF2, to reside in PLPA. Therefore, external security does not load this routine.

Placing CAISSF routines in CSA provides the following advantages:

• Ensures the latest versions of the CAISSF routines are loaded and executed
• Allows one set of CAISSF routines to be used across all address spaces for CA solutions that require CAISSF
• Gives the ability to reinitialize CAISSF routines through execution of CAIRIM, if maintenance is applied
• Gives the ability to delete CAISSF routines through execution of CAIRIM (if desired)
