We can protect the secret name using RACF. Using the rename method, we do not need to change the original IBM module in case of an error/emergency/etc. We can still use ADRDSSU directly.
The main aspect is - do any other z/OS subsystems (eg HSM) call the ADRDSSU interface directly or does IBM use internal methods.

Does this have any >effect on other systems (such as HSM) which use DSS to move their data? <snip> In my experience one of the bigger issues with rename/front-end solutions is that they don't (can't) adequately cope with the strong possibility that the new 'secret' name for the old program will become known, which leaves you back where you started (but with extra baggage to maintain). My experience with this solution mechanism only goes back to 1974 though, so maybe your experience trumps mine. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
