Issue/Introduction

When running the JCL for CLEANUP REPORT (ETCL#RPT), the DD CMDS and DD BACKOUT files are not being filled.

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Cause

The CFILE DD is missing (or commented out) from the CLEANUP REPORT (ETC#RPT).   

Resolution

Add this line to the CLEANUP REPORT (ETC#RPT): 

//CFILE DD DSN=CAI.CFILE,DISP=SHR


The TSSCFILE is necessary for the receiving/restoring the CMDS and BACKOUT files. The Cleanup documentation states the following: 
"The TSS commands are generated with valid ordering criteria that are taken from the TSSCFILE input list of the user. This option ensures that the profile is added back in the proper sequence."

Here is a knowledge documentation example that gives sample JCL used to generate the CMDS and BACKOUT files. 
Although it doesn't say why the TSSCFILE is necessary, the TSSCFILE is included in the JCL.
