z/OS DFSMStvs Administration Guide
GC52-1388-00

You need Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®), a component of z/OS Security Server 2.1, or an equivalent product to provide authorization for and protection of data and system resources:
  • An RACF FACILITY class profile, STGADMIN.IGWSHCDS.REPAIR, controls access to the IDCAMS SHCDS command functions, which you can use to list outstanding SMSVSAM recovery requirements and control that recovery. If you do not use RACF to secure your installation, ensure that your security product supports the new class name and the new FACILITY class profile.
  • The SMSVSAM address space must be given authority to use the system logger log streams.
  • To allow DFSMStvs to do automated BACKOUT and RETRY recovery for transactions, the region must be PRIVILEGED or TRUSTED, or the SMSVSAM address space must be part of a class that has UPDATE access to the data sets to be recovered.

If you use RACF as your external security manager, you need a minimum of RACF Version 2 Release 1 (5695-039) and PTFs to provide the required support for the LOGSTRM general resource class and to enable general resource class profile names for journals to be up to 17 characters long.
