CA Top Secret Health Checks

This appendix describes health checks for CA Top Secret.

TOP_SECRET_CHK_ATF_SECFILE
Description

Verifies there is no conflict with the placement of the Audit Tracking File and the Security File.

Best Practice

We recommend that you allocate the CA Top Secret Security File on a different DASD volume as the CA Top Secret Audit Tracking File. Performance may degrade as a result of improper placement of these two files.

Reference

For details on how to manage these files, see the Installation Guide.

TOP_SECRET_CACHE_STATUS
Description

Verifies that the CA Top Secret CACHE and SECCACHE features are enabled.

Best Practice

We recommend that you enable both of these control options to achieve the best possible performance of the product. The CACHE control option provides an area of memory for CA Top Secret to place frequently used items from the security file. Provision for sufficient CACHE reduces I/O against the security file and increases system performance. The SECCACHE control option provides a cache for CA Top Secret to place security records that reflect the status of a user following a RACROUTE VERIFY request.

Reference

For details to enable these options, see the Control Options Guide.
