Task KVC0I070—Customize Startup Parameters

Use this task to specify or change CA Top Secret control options in the Startup Parameter File. The Startup Parameter File (CA Top Secret PARMS) is created during the installation process. This task writes the modified CA Top Secret PARMS file on the CA Top Secret server’s SYSRES minidisk. If you are working in a shared security environment, this task will access the existing CA Top Secret PARMS file for modifications.

This task consists of the panels:

• KVC0‑I070—Customize Startup Parameters. This panel provides instructions for the task.
• KVC0‑I071—Startup Parameter File. This panel provides a prototype CA Top Secret PARMS file for modifications.

Specifying or changing the data in the CA Top Secret PARMS file defines the control options that is in effect as of the next IPL or server restart. These control options control the CA Top Secret security environment and operation.

If you have previously installed an CA Top Secret product, or you are working in a shared environment, the existing CA Top Secret PARMS file is accessed. The control options specified for the previous installation is checked for consistency against the specifications for this installation. This task lets you select automatic correction of entries in the existing CA Top Secret PARMS file.
