It is available. All you need to FTP access to cbttape.org from your z/OS
mainframe and either FDR or DFSMSdss.

Is this the same as ADRDSSU? 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.
That's why God invented the ADMIN option. If you don't have READ access
to the original, then you shouldn't be restoring it, unless you're an
ADMIN. I want that feature.
