PH49845: SUPPORT FOR ENCRYPTION WITH PS LARGE AND PS BASIC DATA SETS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR provides support for encrypted EXTRACT, ARCHIVE,
  CONVERT and COMPARE data sets allocated as PS LARGE and
  PS BASIC.
  This APAR also optimizes the data set attributes (BLKSIZE) of
  files allocated as PS EXTENDED in respect to the disk space
  utilization.

Problem conclusion

• This APAR enhances Optim processing to allow for the use of
  encrypted EXTRACT, ARCHIVE, CONVERT and COMPARE data sets
  allocated as PS LARGE and PS BASIC.
  Any other data sets referenced in Optim processing (with
  exceptions documented below) such as data sets associated with
  Legacy Tables, DB2 LOAD data files or reports already support
  encryption.
  
  The following restrictions of the support should be observed:
  o The Temporary RBA file (PSTFTRBA) may not be encrypted when
    pre-allocated by the user. There is no data, which may require
    encryption, stored in this data set.
  o The CONTROL file used by certain Optim processes may be
    allocated as encrypted. However doing so may affect the
    product's performance. There is no data, which may require
    encryption, stored in this data set.
  o The EXTRACT+CONVERT processing, when no dedicated CONVERTED
    file has been specified, does not support directly encryption
    for the created CONVERTED file, except for the scenarios when
    ACS routines have been defined to assign the "encrypted"
    attribute (encryption key label) based on the DSN or class of
    the data set. Otherwise such process needs to be broken up in
    separate EXTRACT and CONVERT processing steps.
  
  This APAR also optimizes the data set attributes (BLKSIZE) of
  files allocated as PS EXTENDED in respect to the disk space
  utilization.
  When manually allocating the EXTRACT/ARCHIVE and COMPARE files,
  one should use the most efficient BLKSIZE/LRECL values, or let
  Optim use the default values.
  
  The most efficient/optimal BLKSIZE/LRECL values are:
  o PS BASIC and PS LARGE non-encrypted data sets: 27998
  o PS BASIC and PS LARGE encrypted data sets: 27990.
  o PS EXTENDED (all) 27966.
  
  Note that when performing ARCHIVE processing with a DUPLICATE
  ARCHIVE file, and the DUPLICATE AF has been allocated as
  PS EXTENDED or PS BASIC/PS LARGE encrypted and the PRIMARY AF
  does not match such attributes, then it is recommended that the
  PRIMARY AF uses matching allocation attributes, or a at least
  a BLKSIZE matching the optimal BLKSIZE (see above) of the
  DUPLICATE AF be used for its allocation.
  Otherwise the DUPLICATE AF may be created with a non-optimal
  BLKSIZE, resulting in disk SPACE waste.
  
  A similar recommendation applies to the EXTRACT or ARCHIVE,
  when a subsequent CONVERT processing is being anticipated. in
  respect to the original XF/AF and the CONVERTED file.
