You can restore a data set and use the MENTITY keyword to request that DFSMSdss is to define a data set profile when one of the following is true:

• The data set to be restored was RACF-protected by a generic profile when it was dumped, and the target data set name is unprotected.
• The data set to be restored was RACF-indicated when it was dumped, and the target data set name is either unprotected or it is only protected by a generic profile.

DFSMSdss uses the data set profile specified by the MENTITY keyword, and any volume serial specified with MVOLSER, as a model to define a discrete profile to protect the target data set. If MVOLSER is not specified, the volume serial is one of the following:

• The volume on which a non-VSAM data set resides.
• The volume that contains the catalog for a VSAM data set.
