Migrating RACF-protected data sets

When an existing data set migrates to a DASD migration volume, the RACF indicator in the data set VTOC entry of the migration copy is set if the RACFIND parameter of the SETSYS command is in effect.
Note:
  1. To maintain data set integrity on your system’s small data set packing data sets, protect them with a discrete or generic profile.
  2. When you migrate a data set, the volser in the discrete profile is not updated. Attempts to access the data set without recalling it may cause the ICH408I INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY message to be issued, depending on access intent and access allowed. The message will contain the user, group, data set name, volume(MIGRAT), access intent, and access allowed.

    This message is issued because the catalog lookup before the RACHECK returns a volume serial number of MIGRAT. Therefore, MIGRAT is specified as the volume in the RACHECK. If RACF® cannot find a discrete profile for the data set on volser MIGRAT, then a check is made for a generic profile. If a generic profile does not exist or does not give the requested access, the error message is issued.

    This error message will not be issued if specific generic profiles are used as opposed to discrete profiles.
