Salah, There is no "archive" function in ICSF. The keys stored in the CKDS (and PKDS) as well, are stored based upon the name you've given the key. If you've created your key with let's say the name "FRED", and you replace that key, the old key is gone - forever. If you need to save multiple values, then you will need to give each key a unique name.

My question is – what does ICSF do with old keys? Are they archived on the CKDS somehow? Some of the error messages seems to give that impression (see reason codes x’2710’, x’2711’ for a return code of 0; see reason code x’2714’ for a return code of 8). Being that we will be updating that key every business day, that will mean 260 key updates a year for this one key alone. That’s a lot of records on the CKDS to archive if this occurs. I’m not sure what the repercussions are for this, if anything at all.
