The application programs that invoke Advanced Copy Services functions
must meet with the following minimum requirements:
- Authorization
The user identifier found in the ACEEUSRI
field of the ACEE is used for all access authorization checking. This
user identifier must have read access to a particular RACF® FACILITY class profile.
- For XRC requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.XRC.COMMANDS. In
addition, for XQUERY and XSTATUS requests the profile is also STGADMIN.ANT.XRC.XQUERY.
- For PPRC requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.PPRC.COMMANDS. In
addition, for PQUERY requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.PPRC.CQUERYand for FENCE requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.PPRC.FENCE.
- For SnapShot requests, the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.SNAPSHOT.COMMANDS.
In addition for query requests the profile is also STGADMIN.ANT.SNAPSHOT.SQUERY.
- For FlashCopy® and
Global Mirror for ESS requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.ESFC.COMMANDS.
In addition, for FCQUERY and RQUERY requests the profile is also
STGADMIN.ANT.ESFC.FCQUERY.
- For QHA requests the profile is STGADMIN.ANT.ESS.QHA.
- For STATESAVE requests the profile
is STGADMIN.ANT.ESS.STATESAVE.
- Dispatchable Unit Mode — Task
- Cross Memory Mode — PASN=HASN=SASN
- AMODE - 31 — bit
- ASC Mode — Primary
- Interrupt Status — Enabled for I/O and external interrupts.
- Locks — No locks are held.
- Control Parameters — Control parameters must be in the
primary address space.
For Global Mirror for System z®, Metro Mirror for ESS, Global Copy for ESS, and Metro/Global
Copy for ESS requests, the ANTAS000 address space must be active at
the time the SDM API is invoked. For Snapshot, FlashCopy, Global Mirror for ESS, and Metro/Global
Mirror for ESS requests, the ANTMAIN address space must be active
at the time the SDM API is invoked.
The SDM API does not provide any data management services, such
as allocation or cataloging of data sets. To copy data sets where
these services are needed (such as accessing data sets on target devices),
use a data set copy program such as DFSMSdss.
