Add a Profile for an SFS File

Use the ADDFILE command to RACF-protect SFS files with either discrete or generic profiles. The ADDFILE command adds a profile to the RACF® database in order to control access to one or more SFS files. It also places your user ID on the access list and gives you ALTER authority to the SFS file.

Note: File names and file types on z/VM® may contain lowercase letters; RACF profile names cannot contain lowercase letters. To protect SFS files that contain lowercase letters, you must use generic profile names.

For example, to protect the file

OFSMAIL OFSLOGfl POOL1:USER1.DIR1 (note the lowercase fl)

you could use any of the following file profile names:

OFSMAIL OFSLOG*  POOL1:USER1.DIR1
OFSMAIL OFSLOG%% POOL1:USER1.DIR1
*       OFSLOG%% POOL1:USER1.DIR1
*       OFSLOG%% POOL1:USER1.DIR1.**
