Protecting new data on tape

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

Your installation can provide RACF® protection for new tape data sets by using one or more of the following methods.
  • A user can specify PROTECT=YES on the JCL DD statement when creating a new tape data set.

    RACF builds a discrete profile for the newly created data set and the tape volume on which the data set resides (unless the tape volume is already defined with the TVTOC option).

    When TAPEDSN and TAPEVOL are both active, a discrete data set profile is defined. If the tape volume profile already exists, the TVTOC is updated. If the tape volume profile does not already exist, RACF defines an automatic tape volume profile with a TVTOC.

    When TAPEDSN is not active and TAPEVOL is active, a discrete TAPEVOL profile is defined.

  • You can assign the ADSP attribute to a user and issue the SETROPTS ADSP command.

    When the user creates a new tape data set, RACF automatically builds a discrete profile for the data set as well as the tape volume on which the data set resides (unless the tape volume is already defined with the TVTOC option).
