Using Symbolic Substitution

CA Top Secret supports MVS symbolic substitution in the CAISECxx parmlib member, which you can use to help automate the startup process. For example, use of the &SYSCLONE symbolic, which represents the last two characters of the MVS system ID, can allow different startup options to be executed depending on which z/OS system is performing the startup.

The following table demonstrates the following scenario:

• When z/OS system SY01 starts, the &SYSCLONE values are set to 01. Members CAISEC00 and CAISEC01 are processed, and startup options from CAITRC00 and CAITSS01 are used.
• When z/OS system SY99 starts, the &SYSCLONE values are set to 99. Members CAISEC00 and CAISEC99 are processed. Startup options from CAITRC00 are used, and the operator is prompted for additional input.
