Server Alternate Parameter File

CA Top Secret allows you to use alternate parameter files when starting the service machine. This would be necessary when there are multiple systems sharing the same SYSRES volume for multiple copies of CA Top Secret. The use of an alternate file name allows the site to identify which parameter file should be used. As with alternate SYSRES it is recommended that a comment card be placed in the parameter file to verify which parameter file is being used.

By default the name of the parameter file residing on the IPL disk is TSS PARMS. To start the CA Top Secret server machine using an alternate paramater file you must use the following syntax:

XAUTOLOG TSSVM “# PARMNAME  filename

TSSVM

Replaced by the name of your CA Top Secret service machine.

“

Terminal escape character.

#

Terminal line end character

PARMNAME

Required keyword

filename

Replaced by the file name of the alternate parameter file. The file type of the alternate must be PARMS.
