Hardening a Cache

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 can optionally store 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

    Specifies the file name 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.

For information about the RCACHE and RCQNAME control options, see the Control Options Guide.
