Discrete data set profiles
Discrete data set profiles provide a one-to-one relationship between
a specific data set on a specific volume and its security authorization
requirements. To maintain the one-to-one relationship, discrete profiles
are:
- Optionally created when a DASD data set is allocated
- Renamed when the data set is renamed
- Deleted when the data set is scratched
RACF® indication implies that a data set is protected by a discrete RACF data set profile.
