For sites with CA 1, CA TLMS, or DFSMSrmm a system procedure (PROC) is provided to perform key maintenance and provide reporting capabilities using CA Earl, as outlined by the following points:

  • CA 1 users can execute the BESKMNT1 procedure to create the extract file used by the TBEKMUTL utility and a report of each tape data set encrypted by CA Tape Encryption.
  • CA TLMS users can execute the BESKMNTT procedure to produce a similar extract and report.
  • DFSMSrmm users can execute the BESKMNTR procedure to produce a similar extract and report.
  • BESKMNT1 and BESKMNTT do the following:
    • Executes CA Earl to create the report and the extract file.
    • Executes the TBEKMUTL utility to process the extract file.
  • BESKMNTR does the following:
    • Executes TBERMMX to create the report and the extract file.
    • Executes the TBEKMUTL utility to process the extract file.

The report created in the first step includes tape file details as well as the BES Key Indexes that are used to identify which key was used to encrypt the file.

Note: You can modify any existing CA Earl report distributed with CA 1 or CA TLMS to specify the EARL field BES_KEY. This lets you include the BES Key Index in the report output.
