How to Activate CA Encryption Key Manager

CA Encryption Key Manager and CA Tape Encryption are delivered in the same SMP/E FMID. The LMP keys shipped with your order determine the functions available. If you already have CA Encryption Key Manager installed, you can bypass these installation procedures and activate CA Tape Encryption and the options you are licensed for.

To activate CA Tape Encryption

  1. Upgrade to Release 14.5.00.
  2. Update your LMP keys.
  3. Obtain the BES procedure distributed in Release 14.5.00 CTAPPROC data set and customize it for your installation. This procedure has the requirements for TCP/IP communication. You must run the most current version of the BES procedure to enable NKM.
  4. Perform the configuration steps outlined in either the Option for Networked Key Management User Guide, the Option for IBM User Guide or the Option for Application Management User Guide..

Note: If you plan to implement the Option for Networked Key Management, any systems sharing a BES database that is not at the Release 14.5.00 level, requires a compatibility PTF. For more information, see the cover letter.
