To use DFSMSrmm with DFSMShsm ABARS, you must assign ABARS IDs the correct levels of authorization to STGADMIN.EDG.MASTER, STGADMIN.EDG.OWNER.user, and STGADMIN.EDG.RELEASE.

If you have multiple ABARS USER IDs, for example in a multi-system environment, and any ABARS ID can return tapes to scratch status, you must authorize each ABARS USER ID. Define STGADMIN.EDG.OWNER.abarsid for each ABARS USER ID and give the other ABARS USER IDs UPDATE access to it. This allows one ABARS ID to release the tapes initially obtained from scratch by the other ABARS ID.

See Authorizing DFSMSrmm users and ensuring security for information about authorizing resources.

Table 1 shows the authorization required to use DFSMSrmm with ABARS.
