View Tape Encryption B2BCodeBooks Information

The Tape Encryption B2BCodeBooks dialog displays all the B2B code books you have defined in the B2BBOOKS parmlib member, and which have been loaded into the CA Tape Encryption database. B2B code books are used to encrypt tapes for use on distributed systems.

The B2BCodeBooks display is useful in determining if a distributed system has the most recent code book available. The display presents a complete list of the code books defined to all BES tasks sharing the CA  Tape Encryption database. Before they can be sent to a distributed system, the code books must be exported using the TBEBOOK utility, which formats them for transmission to a distributed system. The B2BcodeBooks dialog displays the time and date that a code book was exported. Using this time and date information, you can check that a distributed system has the current code book.
