One sticky problem with ADRDSSU restore/rename is that the user must have RACF READ access to the _original_ data set name. I think I understand the motivation for this, but it's misimplemented. It simply makes ADRDSSU unwieldly as an interchange protocol, while a sufficiently clever user with READ access to the unloaded archive can still filter it and change all the DSN prefixes to (e.g.) SYS1 and then do the restore/rename.
Please, no arguments that only data administrators should be using ADRDSSU, and such persons should have unrestricted RACF access. The principle should be to protect the data, not the tools. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
