Define the Primary and Mirror Databases

The primary and mirror databases are defined as VSAM Linear data sets.

To allocate the CA Tape Encryption primary and mirror databases

  1. If CA Tape Encryption runs in a shared environment, place the databases on shared DASD. Define the two databases on separate DASD volumes.

    If installing CA Tape Encryption in multiple environments with separate primary and mirror databases, use a different name for the primary and mirror databases in each environment.

  2. Update job BTE10DDB in CTAPJCL to specify the PREFIX in use at your company.

The BES primary and mirror databases are automatically formatted and initialized when they are first opened by a BES task.
