The CA VTAPE systems programmer and the ISSO will ensure that a product's Started Task(s) is properly identified/defined to the system ACP.

If the product requires a Started Task, verify that it is properly defined to the system ACP with the proper attributes.

Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified.
