Specific Control Options › CPFTARGET—TARGET Keyword Default

CPFTARGET—TARGET Keyword Default

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the CPFTARGET control option to set a default value for the TSS command TARGET keyword.

At least one of the CPF‑related control options must be entered at CA Top Secret startup to use the CPF. If not, CPF might not be activated until the next CA Top Secret startup and no CPF control options are accepted by CA Top Secret until that time.

This control option uses the parameter file or PARM field of started‑task procedure entry methods.

This control option has the following format:

CPFTARGET(LOCAL|AUTO|*)

LOCAL

(Default) Specifies that the default for the TARGET keyword is to restrict command execution to the local node only.

AUTO

Indicates default routing based upon the DEFNODES associated with the ACID. The user's default nodes are assigned implicitly on a TSS CREATE function or manually using the TSS ADDTO function.

Note: For information on DEFNODES, see the Command Functions Guide.

*

Specifies that the default for the TARGET keyword is to transmit the command to all nodes defined in the CPFNODES control option with the exception of those indicated as receive‑only nodes.

The default can be overridden by the TARGET value on the individual TSS command.
