Specific Control Options › CPFTARGET—TARGET Keyword Default

CPFTARGET—TARGET Keyword Default

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

The CPFTARGET control option sets a default value for the TSS command TARGET keyword.

At least one of the CPF‑related control options must be entered at CA Top Secret startup to use the CPF. Otherwise, CPF deactivates until the next CA Top Secret startup and CA Top Secret rejects CPF control options until that time.

This control option uses the parameter file or PARM field of started‑task procedure entry methods.

This control option has the following format:

CPFTARGET(LOCAL|AUTO|*)

LOCAL

(Default) Specifies that the default for the TARGET keyword is to restrict command execution to the local node only.

AUTO

Indicates default routing that is based on the DEFNODES associated with the ACID. The user's default nodes are assigned implicitly on a TSS CREATE function or manually using the TSS ADDTO function. For information about DEFNODES, see the Command Functions Guide.

*

Specifies the TARGET keyword default is to transmit the command to all nodes defined in the CPFNODES control option; excluding the receive-only nodes.

The TARGET value on the individual TSS command can override the default.
