  • 1.  Installation of zSecure

    Posted Wed February 15, 2023 01:57 PM

    Before I came on to the account, zSecure was purchased separately.  Well in the newest install of the zOS, zSecure came in with the OS.

    And the 12 datasets came in as CKR.  The fun part I don't have set of the new V2.5 however I can guess and copy the DS's to the CKR

    DS's and probably get it to work.

    My question to the group is how did you handle these DS's on your systems?

    Hi Steve,

    You can install zSecure software using either Formal installation or fast installation method: 

    For example I preferred fast installation. This method runs most of the installation process in a single job, CKRZINST, rather than running the SMP/E RECEIVE, APPLY, and ACCEPT jobs separately. Fast installation installs the product in new global and product zones. 

    In CKRZINST job, there is ALLOCT step and this step Allocates Target Libraries which it is the answer of your question. This step handles these DS's. And then APPLYC and APPLY steps apply the base elements to the target libraries in CKRZINST job.

    I hope my answer satisfies your request.

    Regards,
