    .The TKE allows you to do a SET IMMEDIATE for any master key. This does not do any re-echipher of the KDS, and is not for all situations.

    From the TKE you can launch the ICSF Coordinated Master Key Change feature, but this requires you to sign onto the HOST.

    There is another RFE that is asking that you be able to use the TKE to manage crypto cards with power to the CEC, but no LPARS defined yet. This is under consideration.

    Do any of these features meet your request? If yes, which one, or ones. If not, please include more detail so we can give proper consideration to your request. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
