PH69700: PREVENT SMF80 FROM BEING ISSUED FOR DB2 HPU

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The PTFs for the APARs OA66738 and OA67032 allows to log the
  bypassing of RACF protection when VSAM datasets are open by a
  program in supervisor state or key 0. When the capability is
  enabled, any occurrence of a such a situation is reported by an
  SMF80 record. As the Db2 HPU design requires to bypass RACF when
  opening VSAM datasets (either the Db2 VSAM datasets or FlashCopy
  datasets), a Db2 HPU run can trigger SMF80 records. As this is a
  normal Db2 HPU behavior, Db2 HPU should set the ACBBYPSS flag
  when opening a VSAM dataset to prevent SMF80 from being
  triggered.
