TSSXTEND and TSSRECVR › Run the TSSXTEND Utility

Run the TSSXTEND Utility

To run TSSXTEND, submit the following JCL to copy the contents of the old backup security file into the new security file:

//jobname   JOB  USER=msca only
//EXTEND    EXEC PGM=TSSXTEND
//MAINTOUT  DD   SYSOUT=A
//SECFOLD   DD   DSN=name.of.backup.security.file,DISP=SHR
//SECFNEW   DD   DSN=name.of.new.security.file,DISP=SHR
//*SECNVSM  DD   DSN=name.of.vsamfile,DISP=SHR for the output (new) VSAM dataset
//*SECOVSM  DD   DSN=name.of.vsambackupfile,DISP=SHR for the incoming(old)VSAM backup file
//MAINTIN   DD   *
COPY SECURITY
OLDKEY=????????????????               ENCRYPTION KEY OF OLD FILE
NEWKEY=????????????????               ENCRYPTION KEY OF NEW FILE
NEWPWBLOCK                             
/*

Note: CA Top Secret r15 provides mixed-case password support by default when you run the TSSMAINT utility to initialize the security file. Therefore, you do not need to use the NEWPWBLOCK keyword when running TSSXTEND with an r15-formatted security file.

The OLDKEY and NEWKEY fields must be a 16‑character hexadecimal number. Comments cannot be added to these fields.

Important! Safeguard your key.

When you submit the JCL, the product executes the utility and indicates that the operation was successful.

Note: If the TSSXTEND utility does not execute successfully, use TSSMAINT to format the new security file again. For information about TSSXTEND abend codes, see the CA Top Secret Message Reference Guide.
