Determine that Encryption Hardware is Available for CADDSPL Encryption

Health check DISPATCH_SPL_ENCRYPT@STCname ensures that encryption hardware is available for report encryption. If CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) status is "Absent" the optimum encryption hardware is not available for use in encryption processing.

Business Value:

CADDSPLx can encrypt and decrypt reports without encryption hardware, but emulating encryption hardware is very CPU intensive and will use CPU resources that could otherwise be used for production applications and cause a potential delay in those applications.

Additional Considerations:

We recommend that all encryption and decryption take place on a machine that supports hardware encryption.
