Offloading data

z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
SA23-2289-00

When you offload data from the spool to another device, JES2 copies the security information for the data to the offload job and data set headers. No validation is made of the security information written to the offload data set. JES2 calls RACF® to ensure the operator starting the offload operation has sufficient authority to issue the command to start the offload.

During the offload process, JES2 calls RACF (using the WRITER class) to ensure the owner of the SYSOUT data set has at least READ access to the offload device by checking the security information associated with the data against the device's profile in the WRITER class. The offload device profile for offload SYSOUT transmitter 1 would be:
jesxLOCAL.OFF1.ST

During spool offload, jobs are not checked for access to the device.
