Steps for enabling and disabling Dynamic CKDS/PKDS access controls

The dynamic KDS access controls are used to disable services that update key data sets. These controls allow the ICSF administrator to prevent the key data sets from being updated while using utilities that change the key data set. It is recommended that the CKDS and PKDS dynamic services be disabled during the local master key change. This is not necessary when using the coordinated change master key procedure.

When the dynamic CKDS access control is disabled, the callable services that update the DASD copy of the CKDS fails. The affected services are CSNBGIM, CSNBKPI, CSNBKPI2, CSNBKRC, CSNBKRC2, CSNBKRD, CSNBKRW, CSNBKRW2, and CSNBRKA.

When the dynamic PKDS access control is disabled, the callable services that update the DASD copy of the PKDS fails. The affected services are CSNDKRC, CSNDKRD, CSNDKRW, CSNDPKG, CSNDPKI, and CSNDRKD.
