PROTSEC(XCF|XES|XES,XCF|XCF,XES)

Use PROTSEC to specify XCF and/or XES type links as secure connections. This parameter does not enable encrypted data to flow on said connections, but rather to flag XCF and XES type links as secure physical connections. The PROTSEC parm must be specified on both systems involved in an XCF or XES connection for the link to be considered secure.

Note that the PROTSEC parm may not function as a CAICCI console command since it must be issued before a link becomes active. Most links become active at ENF startup time, making it necessary to insert PROTSEC before any NODE or CONNECT statements in the CAICCI parm file. You can issue PROTSEC as a CCI command if you take action to ensure that the XCF link starts after the command is issued on both ends of the connection.

To make the connection after PROTSEC is issued as a console command

• Issue the PROTOCOL(XCF,...) statement as a command after the PROTSEC command. Make sure the PROTOCOL(XCF,...)is not contained in the CAICCI parms statements.

or

1. Use the z/OS SETXCF STOP,PATHIN,DEVICE=xxx command to force a disconnection.
2. Issue the PROTSEC command on both systems involved.
3. Issue the z/OS SETXCF START,PATHIN,DEVICE=xxx command to reestablish the connection.

Options that must be entered are shown in the following table. Separate multiple options with a comma.
