TASK KVC0P001—Copy Component Files to Production

This task keeps the Production System minidisk up to date with the current level of software. Use this task to copy all CA Top Secret Test System files, including any software maintenance that has been applied, from the Test minidisk (291) to the Production minidisk (391) and the Production Generation minidisk (322 by default).

The public product files associated with end-user and administrative activities is copied to the Production System minidisk. This minidisk can safely be made available to decentralized security administrators and application systems (for instance, those requiring program access to the Standard Security Facility translator).

Non-public files, including CA Top Secret object code and files containing sensitive information, is copied to the Production Generation minidisk. This minidisk should be protected and only the System Maintenance user ID should be permitted access to it for system generation purposes.

When this task is complete, you can generate the Production CA Top Secret server or CP and CMS using Production System generation tasks. If you do not have a separate Production server or z/VM system, regeneration is unnecessary. The Production System represents the latest validated CA Top Secret software level. To back out of a subsequently updated Test System, recreate the latest proven software configuration using Production System generation tasks.
