Resolution

TSSCFBK can not be run on a Top Secret r15 systems with a STEPLIB to the TSS r16 CAKOLINK library. TSSCFBK needs the Top Secret r16 TSSAUTH module to execute the command(s). The TSSAUTH module is loaded at Top Secret startup. TSSAUTH will not be used from the STEPLIB library.)

If Top Secret r16 is not available, instead of running TSSCFBK, run TSSCFILE on the TSS r15 system with the TSS LIST(ACIDS) DATA(ALL,...) command. This should be run during off peak hours because a TSS LIST(ACIDS) … command is very I/O intensive to the active security file which could negatively impact performance.

If Top Secret r16 is up, TSSCFBK can be run against the TSS r15 backup security file.
