Maintenance of existing zSecure configuration data sets

The zSecure™ configuration data sets are customer assets. They are stored in partitioned data sets that are not part of the installed software. For example, when you run Setup Default (SE.D), any customized interface settings are written to your.prefix.SCKRPROF. Because the zSecure installation process does not automatically update these data sets, you can maintain the configuration settings across upgrades.

If you are upgrading to a new version, start with your existing configuration data sets or copy the configuration data sets from a previous release. Then, manually compare these configurations against the C2R$PARM member in the SCKRSAMP library to decide whether any new parameters are applicable. The same applies to PROFDSN data sets, as explained in Setup of default options for user groups (Setup menu).

If the sample configuration data sets exist, they have probably already been customized for your installation environment. To ensure that the zSecure configuration data sets are up to date, manually compare your configuration against the SCKRSAMP C2R$PARM member to determine whether you must update your existing zSecure configuration data.
