Controlling fullpack access to DASD volumes
Z Data Tools provides the ability to work with the entire disk volume (disk fullpack). To do this specify a Z Data Tools disk function without specifying a data set name.
Access to disk fullpack processing is controlled as follows:
- If Z Data Tools is not running APF-authorized, disk fullpack processing is unavailable.
- If Z Data Tools is running APF-authorized, the user's
access to the profile FILEM.DISK.FULLPACK in the FACILITY class is checked. The
following access levels are possible:
- ALTER
- Read and update access to all volumes
- UPDATE
- Read access to all volumes, update access to specific volumes
- READ
- Read and update access to specific volumes
- NONE
- No fullpack access.
Note: Since Z Data Tools cannot run APF-authorized under ISPF, and since disk fullpack processing is not available if Z Data Tools is not running APF-authorized, it follows that disk fullpack processing is not available under ISPF.Access to specific volumes is controlled with the DASDVOL class. The user needs READ access for disk read functions and ALTER access for disk update functions.
Fullpack processing
for disk read functions and Fullpack
processing for disk update functions show
how this works for disk read and disk update functions.
