Data sets that DFSMShsm dynamically allocates during aggregate backup processing

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.

SYSIN data set

The SYSIN data set is used to pass DUMP parameters to DFSMSdss. The SYSIN data set name is: authid.SYSIN.agname.Thhmmss.Dyyyyddd

The variables in the data set name are explained:
authid
DFSMShsm-authorized user ID.
agname
Aggregate group name that is processed.
hhmmss
Hours, minutes, and seconds.
yyyyddd
Four-digit year followed by the Julian day of the year.

FILTER data set

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 variables in the data set name are explained:
authid
DFSMShsm-authorized user ID.
agname
Aggregate group name that is processed.
hhmmss
Hours, minutes, and seconds.
yyyyddd
Four-digit year followed by the Julian day of the year.

Authorization-checking data set

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

The variables in the data set name are explained:
authid
DFSMShsm-authorized user ID.
yyddd
Year and Julian day.
hhmmss
Hours, minutes, and seconds.
