    ****************************************************************
    zSecure Audit compliance rule set RACF-ES-000380 (IBM RACF must
    limit access to data sets used to back up and dump SMF
    collection files to appropriate users and batch jobs that
    perform SMF dump) might report false non-compliant findings for
    tape files which span multiple tape volumes, because the
    RACF_PROFILE field is empty for all but the first tape volume.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit as been modified, so that it handles tape files
    which span multiple tape volumes correctly, the RACF_PROFILE
    field is filled in for all tape volumes, and the RACF-ES-000380
    compliance rule set does not report false non-compliant
    findings.
