Using the R_cacheserv Callable Service

Using the R_cacheserv Callable Service

The R_cacheserv Callable Service provides support for SAF Callable Service R_cacheserv functions:

• Harden
• Restore
• Version fetch
• Delete

This appendix describes how to use the R_cacheserv Callable Service. For information about invoking the R_cacheserv callable service, see the IBM manual z/OS Security Server RACF Callable Services.

The R_cacheserv Callable Service optionally stores caches on a file. When caches are stored on a file, it is called hardening.

To harden a cache

1. Add the following DD statement to the CA Top Secret procedure JCL:

   //RCACHE DD DSN=rcache.vsam.file.name, DISP=OLD
   

   file.name

   The filename used in the INITCSRV job

2. Insert RCACHE and RCQNAME control options to specify hardening and to define the cache names that are to be hardened.
