Disaster Recovery

Modify your disaster recovery plan to include procedures to bring CA Top Secret to the disaster recovery site.

If your disaster recovery site permits you to install your own version of the operating system, plan to bring the CA Top Secret load library and files to the site. CA Top Secret should be brought up after IPL.

If the site provides you with an operating system, be sure that you can install CA Top Secret at that site as part of your disaster recovery operation.

Install the CA Top Secret version of the IBM module ICHSEC00 at your disaster recovery site if:

• You do not wish to include CA Top Secret in your disaster recovery plans
• Any part of your z/OS operating system is not using z/OS alwayscall logic
• Protection of some or all of your data sets is dependent on RACF bits

This allows z/OS to ignore the RACF bits so that your disaster recovery operation runs smoothly.
