DFSMShsm dynamically allocates the following data sets (SYSIN, FILTER, and authorization-checking) during aggregate backup processing. These data sets are used while aggregate backup is executing and are dynamically deallocated before completion of aggregate backup processing. These data sets are allocated with a unit type of SYSALLDA. (If they are non-SMS-managed, you must have at least one STORAGE- or PUBLIC-type device online to use the system.) You need to be aware of these data set names so that the high-level qualifiers used by ABARS can be defined to the system. You may want to modify your ACS filters to direct allocation of these data sets to specific volumes.
The SYSIN data set is used to pass DUMP parameters to DFSMSdss. The SYSIN data set name is: authid.SYSIN.agname.Thhmmss.Dyyyyddd
The FILTER data set is used to pass a list of data set names to DFSMSdss. The FILTER data set name is: authid.FILTER.agname.Thhmmss.Dyyyyddd
The authorization-checking data set is used when checking RACF® authorization for user tape data sets. The authorization-checking data set name is: authid.Dyyddd.Thhmmss
