The HFs files are not temporary these files are used by the Unix zOS interfaces. CICS has Java interfaces. DB2 has JDBC and ODBC connect interfaces. If a when you start using these interfaces. These HSF file will be required for products interfaces to WEB sphere , mQ, CTG, JAVA and DB2 Connect(DBRC, JDBC) and TPCIP. You need to do some more research on how and why the HFS now(ZFS) files are required.
