AGN Security to RAS with CA Top Secret Conversion

Before converting AGN definitions to RAS security, evaluate whether you need this level of security. Many IMS installations implemented AGN security to secure the use of PSBs in IMS BMP regions. Because of its design, when AGN security is implemented, it must be implemented for all IMS dependent regions. This lead to the definition of AGNs for message process regions that look like this:

)(   AGN	      MSG1
     AGLTERM  ALL
     AGPSB    ALL
     AGTRAN   ALL

These AGNs are designed to prevent AGN security, implemented for PSB security in BMPs, from interfering in the processing of message processing regions.

If this matches your implementation evaluate whether existing PSB security in the CA Top Secret IMS interface is sufficient for your security requirements and if AGN security can be eliminated rather than converted.

The TSSISMU2 utility is used to migrate AGN security to RAS.
