Activate CA Top Secret

After CA Top Secret has been installed on your system, you can activate it.

Follow these steps:

  1. Before starting CA Top Secret for the first time, complete an IPL with the CLPA parameter.
  2. If starting CA Top Secret after JES2, enter:
    S TSS,,,MODE(DORM)
    

    If starting CA Top Secret before JES2, enter:

    S TSS,,,MODE(DORMANT),SUB=MSTR
    

    The START TSS command should be placed in the COMMNDxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB.

  3. Enter the following:
    S TSS
    

    A message appears indicating that CA Top Secret is implemented.

  4. CA Top Secret should initially be brought up in DORMANT mode. In this mode, you lose password protection for password protected data sets.

    To maintain password protection, permit each password protected data set for all facilities and accesses with ACTION(PASSWORD,FAIL). For example:

    TSS PERMIT(ALL) DSNAME('password.protected.dsname')
                    ACCESS(ALL)
                    ACTION(PASSWORD,FAIL)
