Top Secret Cleanup report does not create DD CMDS and DD BACKOUT files

Products

• Cleanup

Issue/Introduction

When running the JCL for the Cleanup for Top Secret report (AT6#RPT), the DD CMDS and DD BACKOUT files are not being filled.

Cause

The TSSCFILE DD is missing (or commented out) from the Cleanup report (AT6#RPT) jcl.

Resolution

Add this line to the Cleanup report (AT6#RPT): 

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

The TSSCFILE dataset is necessary for the receiving/restoring the CMDS and BACKOUT files. Manage Profiles with Cleanup for Top Secret states the following: 

"The TSS commands are generated with valid ordering criteria that are taken from the TSSCFILE input list of the user. This behavior ensures that the profile is added back in the proper sequence."

Knowledge Article 55163 gives sample JCL used to generate the CMDS and BACKOUT files. Although it doesn't say why the TSSCFILE dataset is necessary, the CFILE DD is included in the JCL.
