Startup Considerations

When CA Tape Encryption starts, consider the following:

• During the installation of CA Tape Encryption the BES procedure is configured and placed in a system procedure library (PROCLIB). The BES task can then be started from the system console.
• Optional parameters permit you to override the parameter library (parmlib) used and other attributes.
• You can run multiple BES tasks to isolate test and production systems. Up to 8 tasks can be run on an LPAR.

  To start additional tasks, specify a stepname in the range of BES2 to BES8.

• A set of z/OS, JES or CA Tape Encryption commands can be executed automatically when starting a BES task.

Note: For information about these startup commands, BESSCMDS, see the section Defining System Options in Parmlib.
