Backing up and recovering RLS user catalogs

If you use DFSMShsm to back up and recover RLS user catalogs, ensure that the DFSMShsm authorized user identification (UID) has been granted READ access to the IGG.CATLOCK FACILITY class profile and ALTER access to the user catalogs. DFSMShsm invokes DFSMSdss to back up and recover RLS ICF user catalogs. During recover of an RLS user catalog, DFSMShsm specifies the BCSRECOVER(LOCK) parameter, and DFSMSdss will perform LOCK and UNLOCK on behalf of DFSMShsm when the user catalog is preallocated. The RECOVER command will fail if DFSMShsm UID has insufficient authority, or if the IGG.CATLOCK FACILITY class profile has not been defined.
