Control Options and the Parameter File

When CA Top Secret starts up, it references the parameter file and the PARM field of the started task procedure EXEC statement for overrides to the control option defaults.

Changes to the parameter file:

• Are permanent
• Are useful when many control options default values are being changed
• Cannot be audited by CA Top Secret

If the parameter file conflicts with the PARM field, the PARM field prevails.

If you are starting CA Top Secret as a subtask, code SUB=MSTR on the startup command.
