Description
This health check warns if CA Spool has detected a setting of SPOOLENC=YES, but encryption hardware is not installed on this computer.
If CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) status is absent, the optimum encryption hardware is not available for use in encryption processing. Be aware that CA Spool can encrypt and decrypt reports without encryption hardware, but emulating encryption hardware is very CPU intensive and will use CPU resources that might be needed for production applications.
This could potentially delay those applications.
Best Practice
Important! We recommend that all CA Spool systems with activated encryption be run on a computer that supports hardware encryption.
System Programmer Response
For optimal encryption performance, use the CPACF hardware in your system. If you do not have CPACF enabled, contact IBM to determine if the no-cost CPACF option can be made available for your system.
Note: CPACF is a standard component on z9, z10, and z196 and a no-cost option for z890 and z990 processors.
To disable encryption, remove the SPOOLENC=YES setting and restart CA Spool.
None
