Resolution

CA Top Secret doesn't support ATFs allocated with greater than 65,535 Tracks. The following are alternatives:

  1. Utilize SMF in addition to using ATF Files. The Audited Events could then be reported on, using TSSUTIL pointing to SMF. The existing ATF Files would still be used for TSSTRACK (if they are leveraging TSSTRACK).

  2. Allocate an ATF on a 3390 mod 9, with 65,535 Tracks (4369 Cylinders).

 

Test fix LT00423 adds the functionality to support large audit tracking file including multivolume support.
